I remember the time belpois made a poll about whether PNG should be made compatible in this website.

The poll passed, and we could upload PNG images and avaotrs.

With the new avator system, we now can't and also, in the forums we could not too.

 

I noticed though that in the advertisers page, PNG is allowed, whats different?

 

I know that the so called image, is found on the advertisor's server..

The problem is with the "Thumbnailer" which creates smaller versions of the requested file. It translates the files to JPG, so if you put a png with transparency, it would be lost.

As for the pictures in the forum, the system looks for a JPG file named like the id of the post.

Why do you need to upload PNGs? When I invested time to make the avatars accept PNGs, no one took advantage of it. Seeing that no one cared, I reset it to just JPGs but instead using pre-shrunk versions of the avatar rather than shrinking them on the fly. This reduces the load on the server significanly. So it was either faster loading avatars but restricted to JPGs or the ability to upload PNGs but load slower and no one cares about.

Im not worried about the avator.

As we already talked about it ages ago.

 

no one cares about.

Here I disagree with you, just because only about a couple of persons did use it, it does not mean no one (or almost) cares.

I know you put a lot of work to do things, but it takes time for some to realise that something has changed, others may simply think it was already there.

 

I only asked about the forums.

While at it... You use another/ backup server right?

 

Respond me , then ill get back to it.

What do you want to post in the forums that cannot be posted as a PNG. I am asking to see if it justifies the extra effort. At somepoint I will have to redo the forums page, perhaps using more effcient coding. At that point I would see if I can add PNG functionality.

We could (temporarily) set the website to work on the game server in case the web server is offline. But I don't see the connection with this problem.

I still use the PNG file, I wanted that the background of my image matched the background of the website.
