Å½ Â· PNG, although considerably large, is a lot smaller than BMP with just almost the same quality! (about 1/4 the size of BMP = PNG)

That is why you should use jpeg, gif, or even better PNG. PNG is my personal favorite.

Å½ Â· BMP uses uncompressed pixels and therefore have enormously large file sizes. Wastes a lot of space.

Well yeah I do it, but it's a pain if you have to do it all the time, and you can't upload a bmp.:(

Hmm...My word of advice is to change it yourself until SR can fix it. Just open it in Paint, select Save As, and save it as a .jpg or .bmp.

Ok, you know when you upload a picture it says: Dimensions: 1000x1000
(larger images will be resized)
Datatypes: pjpeg,gif,pjpg,png,jpeg,jpg right? Well you can't upload a png! And I wish you can be able to upload a bmp file. Is there a way to fix the png thing and put in a bmp option Spyrorocks?
It will be agreat help since I'm giving banners to people from Photo Explosion.
