Seems strange. Your story is cool, and it could be really better with nice screens, but I don't know how to fix it.
You use png or jpg ? |

yep but only some .jpgs look almost like .png, the ones that are dark not the ones with a clear light. So .png are still the big choice

I know, but isn't that against what Waghlon wrote?
I certainly don't want him to get annoyed |

I take the pictures with fraps in jpg, chop them down to 500x400 pixels, and then put them in photobucket.
So if you have some advice it would really be appriciated |

The screenshots that are dark and with a big resolution (on the forum it is pretty small) have almost the same quality in .jpg as they have in .png.
So the .png's are anytime the better choice, just that they have a larger size, which means that your photobucket monthly bandwith will be full pretty quickly (I don't know for sure if you're using photobucket) and a longer time for them to be loaded here on the forum.

I think you have to take the riders screens on the side, and not withe camera in front.
Also, use zoom
Don't know if it works but try |

so you are saying that taking a picture in png. will look better? I chop the pictures so they don't fill to much on the forum. has that anything to do with it?
And what I meant about Waghlon was that he asked us to use jpg
I know I ask a lot, bu i'm not that great with editing and photos

what I do:
1. go where the screenshots are saved and crop them, letting them the way they are took from the game (I think .bmp)
2. After I crop them all I use DDS Converter 2 (free to use if I remember well) to convert to .png.
3. Then upload them.
And yeah it takes longer for png to be loaded than for a jpg so the readers have more to wait untill they see the report, but they should be pleased with a way better quality.
Making them smaller yes will mean faster load for them on the forum pages but some of them just have to have a bigger resolution.

Thanks for the guide
Just one last question...
When you chop the screenshot you do chop away the "next" button and the camera button etc. right? |
