when I resize images in PS, and save them off at around 150kb, when I come to upload, it says lke..250kb so im having to save them off at size 2 hence pp quality??
Whats that all about??

When i resize and image I set the longest side to 800 @72dpi. When I save it as a jpg I just move the quality slider until it's about 150k. What are you doing?

same, but when i choose the file from here, it shows at alot more...
although it seems to let me upload them even when they are showing a higher size than what I saved them at...
ive now gone and done a few at 600 @ 72dpi and posted a few up that seem ok...

I assume your on windows m8, which does not always report the correct file size (size on disk v's actual size is a known issue)
To combat this, use "Save for web", and 800px on the longest side The file size is reported correctly in PS when doing this, it will also give the correct colour space (srgb) and dpi for web.

Or just install this little program for resizing http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/
