Hi,
For the past couple of years I've been capturing lots of screenshots during strategy-game playing and posting them in various gaming forums (via Photobucket) with no problem, but just lately when I've logged onto the forums the pics that I've already posted usually take a full two minutes or so to display, compared to just a few seconds like they used to.
Any idea why? I'm Win XP Home, not too PC-literate..
PS - I use JPEG format mostly but just lately have been mixing in some PNG's because the definition is a bit better, so do you think forums are slower at displaying PNG's, perhaps that's the cause of the problem?

There's no telling. The internet is not at a stable speed at all times. There are literally thousands of things that can effect the speed at which data is both transmitted as well as drawn.
