When ever I put in a lg pic like a wallpaper and I try to put the url for it in my address bar to see what it would look like from a link it looks small and I don't know why or how to fix it. I was hoping someone here would know how to help. Thanks - Gumdrop

Sometimes Photobucket resize the pics if they are too big. Maybe that's what's happened?

This happened to me, and Photobucket had resized it. You need to delete the orginal picture from PB and then resize it on your computer before saving it and then re-loading. If you don't delete it, it will keep on making it smaller.
Try that and let me know. If not i'll have a look into my account and see if i can figure out how i solved that same problem when i had it.

What I did was resize the image, as in making the file smaler, in Photoshop and then re-loading it to Photobucket, and then it worked. I don't remember if I deleted the first upload or not, but what you're saying makes sense, riotofstars!

Yeah, it's something weird about Photobucket, is that usually if you just re-load another one it does the same thing.

That's really weird... So I guess i deleted my original upload then. Which makes sense since there was no reason to have like half of the pic...

Photobucket has a lag. If you delete one photo and then immediately upload another with the same name as previously, it'll revert to the cached thumbnail/photo instead of the newly uploaded one.
A quick fix is to just click the photo and then Ctrl+Alt+Refresh. Voila. Updated. It eventually sorts itself out anyway, but this is a forced refresh, with your browser/Photobucket.
And now, photobucket has altered uploading so that instead of overwriting an existing file (and disallowing multiple same files) it merely uploads the file again with a "1" or "2" etc on the end, so you could end up with photo.jpg, photo-1.jpg, and so on if you don't delete the original.
I don't know why I'm saying all this. I just think it may help someone sometime who is confused. (I'm not totally clear on the problems being encountered here.)
