Katchoo's Shipset Thread (aka the ungodly slow DoGa guy).

I know we have entered for some years in the area of the fast Internet. But a bmp picture of 382094 bytes on a web page, that is IMHO, far too much

....

Wow! That'll sure chew through your transfer limit quick

Nice picture though!

So I guess you're implying the picture of the Nu'Wam ship is too big?

I'll cut it down to a more manageable size.

Put the same pic in jpg format...
BMPs on a web page you mustn't put.
Never.
Ever.

Jpgs lose colors and image quality. Use pngs instead.

Also, have you considered using http://www.spaceports.com instead of Angelfire? They are much much better than Angelfire.

jpgs only lose color and image quality if you make them like 500x500 pixels. If they are a normal sized picture they are perfectly fine and are best for the web. PNGs are good, but they are still quite big and I would only recommend them if the jpgs look bad for that particular image or if you don't mind the size.

Think I've already seen that debate somewhere on the forum... I also think that .png are a bit too big to be used on the web.
