Yeah, I don't post overly large graphics. I believe the image I uploaded this morning was 800-something by 700-something. But to keep all the details, like the pores in the skin, I had to keep the quality setting high. I don't mean any offense by this at all, and I hope I don't hurt any feelings, but broadband is the way to go these days. Yes, I am aware there are places that cannot even get broadband service, but that cannot be helped. It basically goes back to the old website argument about when to migrate from 800x600, to 1024x768. At some point, you have to leave the old technology behind. It's really a design decision. I am in agreement with UVDan. I would much rather keep my quality, than drop it to serve those who take longer to DL. Again, no offense is meant, but it's the truth. As far as any new file formats, your Firefox can support it all you like, but until M$ decides to support it, it will never be widespread. The simple fact is, people use IE. They aren't going to join the Firefox epiphany, so using a non-IE supported solution is shooting yourself in the foot much more than leaving behind those dial-up users.
