I don't know if this has already been discovered and reported, but there is a clear difference in how photobucket (and possibly other photo-sharing websites) handle JPGs and GIFs.

If you have saved as a GIF, your chart will appear smaller, and there will be notable fuzziness in the quality of the image. It could be that the more you edit, the worse it gets. If you saved as a JPG, both the size and quality will remain reasonable.

I will ask Randall to make note of this in the "How to Post Your Chart" section! Sorry I couldn't get to testing my theory sooner - opportunity has come my way from having a sick child keeping everyone up!

Here's a comparison of GIFs and JPGs, with said sick child's chart as an example.
