I need to emphasise what Tom said.
Seriously, never, ever, ever post images as *.bmp--they're
huge--nobody want's to download a 3MB file when they can get a virtually instant image in *.jpg format with very similar quality. Plus, *.jpgs are given the option to just "View" them when they're up there, so it becomes even easier for people to use them.
Honestly, TGC needs to implement a rule or program Apollo to reject *.bmps, because I'm really getting tired of it.
Nothing against you, though, Darth. A lot of people do it, so don't feel like you've commited some vicious crime, it's just that it happens so often that it gets frustrating.

Evil has a new name. Demo out now!
