uploading pictures degradation

[Mobilesport]

When I upload pictures it always says there too big and wants me to
make  them smaller before they'll upload.
I make them smaller with Android  image resizer and they up load no 
problem except the quality of the picture was destroyed  to where you can't 
even read the text.
What's  the  solution? ?
Thanks

Open a free account with iMagur, Photobucket or the like, upload photos there, then use "insert photo" button here to link photo.

I use Photobucket, but wouldn't suggest it without Adblock Plus running...the adverts are horrid.

Use Imgur or Flickr. Imgur is the quickest/simplest. You don't need to make an account or anything. Flickr probably compresses your pictures less and has tons of sizing options. AFAIK, Photobucket is an old piece of crap.

It's better to host your pictures somewhere other than the forum server, as pictures take way more drive space than text (like a hundred thousand words worth, or more) so by saving them on a picture site, you're allowing the forum to operate on less hard drive space.
