Now accepting PNG and JPEG files
Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2013 5:20 pm
The site has been using only GIF files for screenshots in entries, but Andrew was kind enough to open things up to both JPG and PNG files. This has a pretty sizable space advantage in many cases: PNG is almost always smaller than regular GIF files (unless 32-bit color is enabled) and JPG generally compresses multi-color (paintings/photographs) files better than both.
I've already gone through around 15 entries and pushed files over to PNG format and saved some bandwidth.
RIOT is great at this, by the way.
