Hi all -- the hands in this photo have jagged edges; looks like there might be a bit too much compression in the uploads. Anything I can do about this? ...

I didn’t upload anything to WPS; I just pasted Imgur’s HTML links into the field. The WPS server must be automatically downloading the files at these links.

the WPS servers must have "uploaded" the photos from the links... or "downloaded", I never remember which is grammatically correct ; ) What I do is type the post text and then go to "html" mode and edit in the links manually... it's a bit of a hassle to s... 

Regardless of what’s happening behind the scenes, the images that display in the site when I proceed this way are superior to the images that display if I upload to WPS directly. For example, compare the photo that led off this thread with the same photo ... 

Have fun.... Casey
