How could this even be construed as a duplicate? I posted it nearly an hour before the other and it is a completely different image.ArchedThunder 07:18, 2 November 2012 (EDT)
 * Because it's a PNG image, which is five to ten times the file size of a JPEG without any improvement in quality. Users with slower connections can take minutes to load a single PNG image. Apologies, but I'm just trying to get rid of the PNGs; could you upload your images as a JPEG next time? -Kronos101 07:21, 2 November 2012 (EDT)
 * Actually JPEGs cause a loss in image quality. Also I have not heard of a single person whose connection is bad enough to take minutes to load a PNG.ArchedThunder 07:24, 2 November 2012 (EDT)
 * I know that JPEGs are technically lossy, but the difference is nearly non-existent with the naked eye; especially with screencaps - compare the Cortana image I uploaded to yours. Uploading a low-res PNG also makes replacing them with high-res versions harder; I'll replace all FUD screenshots once the Blu-ray version is released, and those screencaps would be around 4-5 MB in size as PNGs (as with the captures I did for Halo Legends). Other than transparent cutouts, most images should be JPEGs.-Kronos101 07:32, 2 November 2012 (EDT)

Just to let you know that I also do this from time to time. JPG is much more preferred over PNG for the time being because it allows mobile users to surf the wiki with ease, and without having to worry about going over their data plan. — subtank   05:59, 3 November 2012 (EDT)


 * I am VEHEMENTLY opposed to this. As a wiki, it is our mission to portray as much information in as accurate a way as possible. By using a JPG (One that had to be screencapped and saved, and may have been cropped, causing further compression) over a png, one that is of a lower resolution, no less, we are intentfully using an image that is less accurate to the original.


 * At the very least, keep this one, and just link to it from the JPG's page or something. http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/9315/signxb.jpg 22:41, 5 November 2012 (EST)
