Reporting defacement

Hi there. I just wanted thank you for fixing the defacement of the Main Page. However, in the future please make sure to report the defacement on the WikiTroll page. -- Tom 16:06, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

Thought about it, would have done it if the defacement were repeated. I will report in the future, though. From the edit logs, it looked as though there was a possibility they had just accidentally messed up the formatting then didn't know how to revert and then started messing things up. --Nerdular Nerdence 16:13, 26 Nov 2004 (MST)

JPEG versus PNG

Thanks for your willingness to upload the images for the '02 Dec 2004' Weekly Fanstuff and Weekly Sketchbook. It is much appreciated but I had just one request for future uploads - Could you save the file(s) using a Portable Network Graphic file format? You're probably on to something with the reduced file size (approximately 10KB versus ~30KB) but I think the image quality suffers a bit. It seems that the PNG files have worked well in the past and if you want to continute using JPEG files that would still be ok. - Thanks! --The Paper 20:14, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

Hi... on my computer the difference between PNG and JPEG was 80kb. Of course, this was in MS-Paint, so the PNG compession probably wasn't ideal... I thought the image quality was fine in JPEG, but PNG is lossless, so if you can get a PNG down to 30k it's probably fine. --Nerdular Nerdence 23:36, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

JPEG: 11730 bytes vs PNG: 60304 bytes. True, I have DSL now, but I've been there and I know how much difference that can make on dial-up. I don't think the quality difference is enough, personally. --Nerdular Nerdence 23:42, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
