Below, I'm showing you a cleaned up GIF file that was in the directory. I seen the original, and had to fix it up, and change it in the database...

It really illustrates the difference between GIF and PNG:

If you're going to add images to the directory, we really prefer you to use PNG, or at least JPG... GIF just looks like shit.

Gifs are only good if you are using less than 256 colors. For photographs, use png or jpeg.

Not all of them.

The format supports up to 8 bits per pixel, allowing a single image to reference a palette of up to 256 distinct colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. It also supports animations and allows a separate palette of 256 colors for each frame. The color limitation makes the GIF format unsuitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for simpler images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.

He's an admin because he uses pretentious, unneeded knowledge to talk about different image-types?

And falling for a sub-par troll? I guess they just hand out mod accounts.

Yep..I really do learn a lot from this site. It's an educational site for me, probably not what is intended. LOL
