Can anyone help before I throw my PC out of the window and leap out after it? Hadfos has very kindly done me a beautiful new siggy strip to show the new rescue ponio. She has spent hours and hours and hours helping me. When she posts it on a PM it looks perfect. But when I save it to My Pictures, upload it to PhotoBucket then copy the IMG code back to H&H, it shrinks it down to half size (as below). We've tried everything and still it does the same thing. I'm certain this is some titchy thing I'm doing wrong - anyone seen this before and know how to correct it? Pack of 12 Creme Eggs to anyone who can help xxxxx

Box_of_Frogs, can you tell us step-by-step what you are doing, and which programs you are doing it with? The shrunken siggy is a much smaller file than the original. How are you going about saving it to your computer?

Hi SP - I put cursor over the siggy strip in my PMs, right click and click to SAVE. Then I go to My Documents, My Pictures and COPY the saved file. Give it a title. Then go to Photobucket and UPLOAD the newly saved file. When uploaded I put cursorover the bumff that addears under each pic and highlight the IMG code. Press COPY then go to HHO and press PASTE. And every time it comes out squished
