I had that problem a couple of weeks ago,I even resized them in photoshop but still got same result.
I think the way I cured it was to delete the pictures completely from photobucket,delete all the links you have put up & start again.
Try using the microsoft picture viewer to resize & then upload to PB,or any other picture editing software.
If you don't have your own software try http://www.getpaint.net/ which is a free picture editor from microsoft originally designed to replace Paint.
Good luck,hope this helps.

Benny, just a point of interest, what code was you using on photobucket (HMTL or IMG code) to copy and paste onto this forum, as I was thinking of starting a build diary but somehow, I'm having problems transferring pictures from photobucket to this forum, thanks, much obliged...

Thanks mate, I'll give it a go, and as for re-sizing, that's another problem for another day for me to sort out....ThumpUp

Hi benny! BigGrin

On the forum the best size for your picture is 700 pixels wide so resize you picture 700 pixels wide before uploading to photobucket and use the second code down on the share links, that's the Direct Link left click on the link then right click and select copy, before you paste it into your post. If you don't resize the pictures down to 700 pixel it can be resized be the forums program to make the file smaller this is why your pictures can look poor on the forum.
