I never had a problem with this with any of my old cameras but since I got this new camera I'm really having issues. My photos look fine on my computer even after resizing and saving for web but when I load them on DPC, they look horrible! I lose so much detail. The color is fine but detail loss is dramatic!

Never noticed anything similar regardless of the camera used.

The site has a resizer engine. If images are submitted for upload to a challenge at greater than 800 pixels on the longest dimension, they will be resized down to fit. This may subject the image to unexpected JPG compression.
The other thing which comes to mind is the color space issue. Are you converting to sRGB before upload?

The color seems to be fine. It's just the loss of detail. |

| after you re-size the image open it in a photo viewer and see if it looks the same as your upload. |

| I thought it was sharpening issues but I looked at old threads about sharpening and saving for web and tried different ways but doesn't seem to help. |

I uploaded a photo on here and then compared it to my re-sized image on windows photo viewer and it does not look the same. Looking at it with windows photo viewer it's fine. |

When I look at this on windows photo viewer or in Photoshop Elements, I can see all the fine detail in the wood post. When I upload it on here, it's blurry looking. |

Did you upload it on some other site, yours or Flickr to compare?

Make sure your browser isn't re-sizing your image to make it fit inside it's window: I looked at your example and Firefox resized it to 94% to make it fit without scrolling = slightly blurry.
edit: I downloaded both full-sized images from here and Flickr and compared them, and I find they are identical.

I went to View on Firefox, clicked on reset. It seems to have helped. Maybe my monitor was on zoom or something? Duh! I think this may have been the problem! Thank you!!! |

| Thanks everyone! Somehow my monitor was zoomed in. Wouldn't it have looked like that on Flickr too though? |

It was your Firefox that was zoomed, and it has separate zooms for each tab/window |

Brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. Firefox zooms on DPC but not other sites (for me). I have to hit ctrl 0 for every single image I look at here to set it back to "normal" display, which indicates to me that it is automatically zooming. It doesn't do this for other sites.
Am I alone? Is there a way to fix this? |

I suspect you've got Firefox remembering it's zoom level for DPC (it can be set to remember zoom levels for individual sites)
