having trouble posting my screenshots

hey thanx for viewing,

whenever i take a screenshot, cut out the part i want to post using the paint application. it tells me that the file is too large to be posted in my threads. I cut and pasted the parts i wanted to post into a new paint document and it looks like the screenshots others post in their threads, so what am i doing wrong? Oh and i also tried posting the scrrenshots on 'photobucket.com' and using a url but it is so small that i cant even read the words. please someone help
Thanx..

Save it as a ".JPEG" file, and host it on either potobucket or image shack, and copy and paste the link

you should have posted this in Q&A forum btw

Also, there is a screenshot guide in the screenshot forum.
