You uploaded a .bmp file and Imgur does not do a good job auto-converting it. Do that in MsPaint before uploading, save as .jpeg.

Only save photo's as .jpg (and also not with paint as it will ruin the quality), save the rest as .png (so game screenshots, spreadsheets, drawings, etc).
 
Yeah MsPaint produces JPEGs with low quality. Though, if you use another image editing program, one that allows you to set the Jpeg quality, it's fine.

BTW, if you have images with a low amount of colours (like those world maps), .gif can do a great job producing a small file with no loss of image quality. Again, it's better to use a decent image program to manually set your options.

Gif is evil. Use png. It is far better.

It's not a bad format, it just never got very popular in the Web. :)

Yeah, I always upload Vicky screenshots in paint first

Though, if you want an image editing program with more enhanced features, the Gimp is free.
 
Colombia's one province has 746570 people, and it is communist but still kept slavery for some reason.
For the record, communism can roll back every ​political reform - slavery is valid for communists.
 
Would've been better if it counted as both social and political, if that could even have been programmed.
