The pic you linked works fine for me.

Works fine here as well.

Also, BMP is horribly large. That image you linked:
  • As a BMP: 616 KB
  • As a GIF: 1.83 KB (No colors in this one, so it's nice and compressed)
  • As a PNG: 3.39 KB
  • As a JPG: 8.63 KB

So in this particular case, the BMP version is 33,661% larger than the GIF.

I'll just toss this link out there: http://www.r1ch.net/img-formats/

In conclusion, I'm going to guess Chruser would prefer to save a bit of bandwidth...

Actually, a BMP can be just as small as a GIF, since both support RLE; the difference is that in practice, RLEing a GIF is the rule rather than the exception, while RLEing a BMP is the exception rather than the rule.

As of now, all spaces are replaced with underscores, and weird file extensions become spelled in versals. I haven't quite figured out why yet, but capitalized file extensions (.JPG) causes problems with image displayment, although they store just fine. But so far, the service is fully functional.
