Photoshoped photo on facebook = pixelated photo. WHY?

[KingBlingBla]

When I create a banner in photoshop (851 pixels wide and 315 pixels tall) (300psi) I save it as a jpeg and I upload it to FaceBook as a cover photo and it gets a little pixelated. I upload it to PhotoBucket and it comes out clear.
Is this a problem with what i am doing or is it a FaceBook issue?
If it is something I am doing, what is it?
I have tried 300psi and 72psi with the same results.

People use the word, "pixelated" in quite different ways, so, in the absence of an example image, I may not understand exactly what problem you are facing. However, I suspect it may be the same problem as described in this thread:

Read through it, and if you are having a different problem, post an image that shows the before and after change, and we'll look into it further.

Have you tried a banner made by somebody else?

 

[KingBlingBla]

There are two people that do banners and both myself and the other person have the same issue.

Perfect. i sent that to my graphics manager and he will test it out next time he makes a banner witch should be this weekend.

It is facebook im pretty sure, it automatically decreases the quality for cover/banner images.

Danny, in case you hadn't noticed, this thread is a couple of weeks old, and the problem with Facebook that you mentioned was discussed extensively in the even older thread cited in post #2 of this thread.

ahh, I was wondering why no one had answered. Good explanation on the other thread as well

Don't feel bad -- I inadvertently reply to dead threads at least once every week or two and always get ribbed about it, LOL.
