Does anyone here use clikpic?

I have another trail and uploading shots which look great on flickr and then crap on clikpic.

If so could you post your web address so I can see the quality?

Thanks

Yours are pretty sharp.

How strange. Can't be their compression then?

I do resize my images to 500 pixels wide for the Clikpic site. What size are you uploading to them?

750 the longest edge

So maybe Clikpic is compressing your images. Until they recently increased the max size, I think 500 pixels wide was the largest size that they would host. You could try uploading one at a smaller size and see if it looks better.

Here's a link to mine on Photium (Clikpic's competitor). They recommend 600dpi longest size and optimised to 100k. I've always been pleased with the resolution.

Pics look good although to be honest I have never been fond of their templates.

Thanks though.
