I use paint and change the .bmp(to big size) to .png .jpeg or .gif to compress the size

200KB is the file size limit....how the hell do you have a 250KB .jpg file? That would have to be over 5000*5000 pixels in size...

You can upload files more than 100 K so that isnt it
I think it doesnt support that extension.
Open the screenshot with paint (right click -> open with) and then in paint file -> save as screenshot.jpg

nice map
to bad there are no waypoints.

Do you have MS Paint? I sure as hell hope you do...well, here's what to do. Follow this exactly, and it will work....

1) Make your map, start a game with it
2) Walk around a little ways and hit [maroon]alt + printscrn[maroon]
3) Press alt + tab and go to start>programs>accessories>paint
4) Once in Paint, go to the top and hit Edit>Paste
5) The picture should be there now. Go to File>save, and select .jpg as your filetype. Upload here.

Hopefully you have paint....it is the basic drawing application...

Hell, I'd upload it to a site and give you the link for it, just out of pity for not having Paint...such a great little proggy! ;)

Enjoy
