I thought JPG compressed file better making them smaller (and uglier)
Not quite. Jpg is
the best format for graphically complex, large images on the internet because it has a very good quality to compression ratio with a lot of different compression options. -At lower compression levels there are much less artefacts, reducing the “ugliness”.
PNG 24 is
NOT an internet format for large images because there is almost no compression. It's like uploading a bmp or Tiff file. The only benefit is the excellent transparency support because it contains an alpha layer.

NEWS:-Skool and I may have convinced Lawrence and Dan to back away from the
PNG conversion idea, which will allow people to keep their files in their original format.
-As for the
deadline for the switch-over to the new site- This will be extended to allow them to have more features finished and ready in time for launch.
At this stage we're not sure by how far because Lawrence has to negotiate an extension, which will be tricky because of cost issues, but he wants to have as much perfect as possible for us on changeover so that's why he's hoping for an extension.
-Lawrence has said he'll make a
check-list of features that they're working on and update that weekly.
-Hopefully
BB code will return to the forums on the new site and the
WYSIWYG thing will go, that seemed to be the gist of what we talked about.
OK, that's all for now, more when I remember. Some of that stuff needs more internal negotiation to say for sure and finalise. -There will be more features, but it needs working out first. And yes, as said a bazillion times already;
Stats pages will be there.
Oh yes, full HTML editing is still
NO, but tools for editing are promised to be sdooper dooper useful when they're done.
