OK. I'm kinda new here but I've just come across a problem. Today when I attmepted to upload a photo it appeared to be fine until you clicked on teh thumbnail to see the larger version. The larger version was very pixilated. The photo isnt like that otherwise, it is perfectly fine when I view it from the folder it is in. So I resized it a few times making sure it wasn't that and I sitll had the same problem. Can anyone help me please?

Be midnful that every time you re-size and re-save a jpeg, it looses resolution. Save as jpeg only just before you are done editing it, then post to the web. You can alway re-size down, but should never re-size up. Hope this helps Tom

I've noticed similar problems from other members posted in the Community Forum. Maybe a search for those posts will help you find a possible solution? I, myself, had that problem once and updating my browser and clearing my cache seemed to take care of it. But everyone's different ;) Good luck!

So far your 4 images do not look so bad at all.I saw them on the day you uploaded and was impressed. Do you wait for the image to fully load.Sometimes in my Firefox browser they seem to pixelate until fully loaded.But that is only a few seconds. Let me know if you still have problems.

They all look fine to me. Are you using AOL? If so then make sure Image compression is turned off in the internet settings.
