Note the small photo file size and limited pixels. Neither quality nor fine details rely on large files/photos.
This is particularly true where the internet is concerned.

My pic next to your is 757 x 250 - What does the 250 mean? I tried to load at a higher resolution and it would not go till I dropped the resolution to this size. This did not happen before the site hacking.

This site has never been hacked.
The numbers you mention are pixels - size more so than resolution.
The internet is a low resolution medium. Anything more than 72 dpi is wasted. The photo above is a very, very, very low resolution 72 dpi. Looks terrible, doesn't it? Hard to see any detail, isn't it?

By the way, for comparison, that's a #3 guide Abe's having a look at.

Resolution and Dots per Inch (DPI) are two seperate measurments. Resolution refers to the scale of an image and DPI would be the count of individual pixels that comprise the recorded image. If you record an image that is 100 by 100 pixels and display it at 100 DPI then the image will be 1 inch by 1 inch. If you display that same image at 200 DPI then it will be 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch.
In the dimentions, the first number is the width and the second number is the height. I have my monitor set to a screen resolution (scaling) of 1280 x 1024. My monitors screen is 13.25" wide by 10.6" in height. 1280 pixels wide divided by 13.25" equals 96.6 pixels per inch left to right. 1024 pixels height divided by 10.6" equals 96.6 pixels per inch up and down. The highest resolution my monitor can display is 96.6 pixels per inch. If I try setting the resolution any higher I don't get a full screen image.
Most monitors are going to be either 72 or 96 DPI and their resolution will normally be set somewhere between 800x600 and 1280x1024. A decent image size that could be viewed by the average monitor without scrolling off the screen would then be 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall.
