# hohoho
It's doubly annoying as this is posibly the only funny thing I've ever thought of, and it just looks crap due to tinyness.

# grr.
the original image was absolutely bloody massive, photobucket just decided to shrink it for unexplained reasons. I reckon it's some guy at the other end just messing with my head.

# it's because it's a bmp


TJ: can anyone tell me how to get my windows XP to show file extensions in folders? it's driving me insane trying to distinguish between gif and jpg versions of pictures

# Tools > Folder Options > View
then scroll down and deselect "hide extensions of known file types"

I am all teh r0xx0r.

# Your comrpession is bad
So it cuts them in half in size. Though how on *earth* you managed to make that 250kb is beyond me. Try and keep images below 100k, this isn't an art expo!

# That's a bmp?
FAQ man.

# what?
I can't see anything in the FAQ about bmps. Sorry. I'm fairly new and crap.

# well...
in general gif is a good format for "cartoons" - or at least images with lots of big surfaces of the same colour or animations, and jpg is good for photos.

BMP is just crap because the file-size is enormous - you could have made that image over there about 3 Kb as a JPG, and probably about 20 if you made it 4 times as wide/heigh.

The FAQ does still say something about large file-sizes, right?

# does the programme

# Actually, he is.
If you remove 'th_' from the links you get (slightly) bigger images. Doesn't cahnge the fact that the main issiue is that he's using bitmaps instead of some compressed format.

# Can anyone
actually read the speech bubble okay? because, if not, it says " Tomkins, great news!, the WTC has agreed to sponsor our latest RAF advertising campaign!" or words to that effect.

I've made it slightly more legible, although it's still bmp.
