      Wtf

      I'm trying to upload a new signature, and when I do the quality goes to total shit? WTF.



      That's what it should look like, instead it looks like:



      WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST?

      Seems that DV has introduced a max hight of 200 pixels. It's being scaled down as you upload it.

      It's not being compressed, it's being converted into a gif.
      I messaged PJ or some other admin about it ages ago but it's still doing it.
      Upload a JPG or PNG, and it'll turn it into a GIF, even if it matches the size requirements fully.

      So I figure this belongs in the Meta Forum.

      compression
      noun

      1. an increase in the density of something [syn: compaction]
      2. the process or result of becoming smaller or pressed together
      3. encoding information while reducing the bandwidth or bits required [ant: decompression]
      multiple meanings, FTW!

      Spoiler for JPG:

      Spoiler for GIF:

      Except converting to a gif does the exact opposite to the file size.

      No, the point is that the images get converted into a gif even when they are completely within the limits and don't require any compression or resizing whatsoever, thus actually increasing their file size and reducing their quality.

      And all of that doesn't seem very sensible, when you think about it.
