I've been noticing that Photobucket is cutting image resolution in half for some reason. I'm well within their limits, but a 149.83k banner will suddenly be displayed as 51k with the original altered in the PB account as well.
Is anyone else having this problem? If it keeps up, I'm going to host my banners with imageshack instead.

Okay, fuck Photobucket. They compressed every single one of my banners.

Here's proof -- the first time I saw it happening was when this banner went up.
Original image 117.72K as originally uploaded (now on ImageShack):
Now it's 30.38K and looks like shit (Photobucket version).
When I saw the banner go to crap, I actually deleted the one in my PB account and uploaded it again. It would last for a couple hours, then bam! crappy image. Lather, rinse, repeat. What's really odd is that it never happened before that particular banner, but has been going on ever since and now every single banner of mine has been compressed there.
According to Photobucket's FAQ, for free accounts each image cannot exceed 1MB or 1024x768. Since the biggest banner I've ever done was around 300KB a few months ago before I started trying to keep them under 200K, there's no reason for Photobucket to be messing with the images. I was going to go Pro, but now they can go fuck themselves.

Maybe we should protest and spam them with granny sex! That'll show 'em!
Is it a pay or free account, I got the pay account!!!
Free account, but the bottom line is, I'm well within the limits set for free accounts. There's no reason for them to fuck with my banners.
email them but they are arrogant because they know they almost have a monopoly!!!

I can see barely a difference...Could be because of my monitor, but, I don't notice the difference too much...I do notice when my pictures are in a GIF and then I get a BMP image that has to be transferred to GIF and it gets REALLY grainy looking...THAT sucks...
trying here first
Urinal Cake is behind this nefarium!
