    Everyone, go update your 2003 forum avatars.

    My friend, most people weren’t using PNG in 2003, especially for forum avatars. They were glitchy on browsers (IE) for almost a decade after that.

        For images with large blocks of solid colors and no gradients, frequently the opposite is true. Screenshots and avatars with solid(transparent) backgrounds are often smaller as png.

        It drives me nuts seeing things like tweets (white and black text) being shared with crazy jpeg artifacting. They’d be so much smaller and so much less ugly as png
