What Could Possibly be Going Wrong?

I am having the hardest time with this one image. I made it in illustator, and then to scale it right I did a "Flatten Transparency." After this I scaled it down and made it centered on a 3x3 banner. After I added the background junk, I tried saving it as every possible thing. I even moved it over to photoshop and made the background all over again, but no matter what I do, I cannot attach it to forums, and I cannot upload it to photobucket. It acts like nothing is there. I have tried everything I can think of in terms of saving to get it to work but I just can't. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be or what I could do to fix it? I still have the original image in illustator which is very large and not flattened, so i can go back to that if I need to. I don't think it was the flatten transparency that did it because I did not do it to the background.

I appreciate your time, and have a good day! Thanks!

Are you just trying to upload it to the web? If so, make sure it is in RGB. Scale the size down... 72 dpi. Then try, File > Save For Web. Hope that helps. :)

BLARG!

I finally got it work, but then the scale was all screwy. In print view it was actual size, but 100% zoom it was HUGE....

Went and talked to my professor and he explained the difference between 75 and 300 dpi....

thanks Exodus.
