Yes, definitely, it's just about to be displayed on another 72 DPI device! At whatever size it was on the original screen, as it was captured.
If you feed images through the forum software they loose much of their tonal range and are downsized to a 'uniform' size to minimise the storage overhead and present a universally suitable and fast to load image. Probably geared to dial up web access, not todays broadband speeds.
Take a look at this thread on Little Terns. About the seventh post...

That's interesting, I wasn't aware the software was so damaging. I will have to look at my recent postings via the forum and see how they compare with screen grabs.
I wonder, do other members take extraordinary steps to preserve the quality of their posted images?
