How do you guys get the high res pics posted? The forum uploader stops at 976.6kb, and most of the picture hosting sites I've tried always shrink the pics when they are uploaded. Can someone take me to school?

I took my screenshots and sized them down in gimp just enough to save them under the file size limit.

I used the scale function with gimp and mine was pretty fuzzy by the time I got it sized. Your pic wasn't fuzzy when it loaded. Maybe there is a better way? I have never really used gimp. Probably just don't know how to do it.

In GIMP, try doing File>Save As... choose ".png" as the file extension and press save.. a png properties box should then popup. Make sure that compression level is set to maximum, which is 9 I believe. I'm not a GIMP master either.. I'm more of a photoshop guy myself.
