@Indira 

I posted this list last year, but updated it to include some photo editors. It also has a list of places that you can use to host your photos. :)

I haven't used imgur that much, but it seems to be pretty good photo hosting service.

I just want to say that after several days of frustration, Photobucket seems to be functioning again.

I have been trying to figure out how to alter the files using my mac's photo preview. It seems I can convert photos from png. to jpeg, but not jpg. Are they perhaps the same thing? If not, is it okay to use jpeg files instead?

I'm not sure what you want to download. As there are many photo editing programs talked about in this thread. However I'm going to assume you're talking about InfranView. If so, then yes you can download it from cnet.

http://download.cnet.com/IrfanView/

You can also download other photo editor programs as well. Such as Gimp and Paint.net, PhotoScape. - Scroll to the bottom of the page.

I generally resize (and sometimes adjust brightness and contrast) my images in GIMP (an open-source image editor), and save them at the highest compression available.  Are .pngs that are the same file size as a .jpg (usually between 300 and 600 kb) acceptable? I'm certainly not using the full-size, high rez captures from my game.

We'd prefer screenshots be posted in .jpg because they're more web friendly for those with limited or bad internet. It also helps with bandwidth and forum resources. Specially if using the forum's attachment system.

@Sindocat: I can get high quality JPGs from GIMP that are under 200kb by saving it at 95% quality. Here's an example.
