charmedmusic.proboards1.com/It's a Charmed Forum where you may play thread games and request specific Charmed graphics. I made this new skin, to reactivate the forum and because it loads quickly Please note: forum is best viewed using Firefox. If you are using other borwsers, you will probably get the forum's images cut, because they are .png, only well read by Firefox. And some tables have different sizes. Thank you

You know, you could make the images .gif's so that they appear correctly in all browsers. It's important to have a forum as cross browser compatible as possible. While there are a lot of Firefox users, the majority still use IE, so you don't want the majority of people who visit your forum to see it the wrong way.

I know, but the .gif files are tooo big, and the page loads are slower

What images are you talking about? And I use sometimes .png images, and they look just fine with an IE browser. Also, you want to remember that ProBoards was designed only for IE in mind. And even though a lot of people use FF, as Myke says, a lot more people use IE.

I also use .png, but they are not transparent in IE, only in Firefox.

Hey guys, is this board becoming GOAYB? It's whatever people want to use it as, an advertising board or a board for opinions.

So, wait, are you saying that .gifs are bigger than .pngs ? Because I said the same...

Just wondered because you said that this isn't a GOAYB copycat at all This isn't a GOAYB board, this is a board for our members to share their websites/forums with each other. We may advertise, ask for opinions, or both. ok, so let me get this: I should make them .gifs to be crossbrowser, and load slowly ? That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there is no significant increase in the loading time of gifs over pngs. I'm not sure who told you that. I'm going to post two images below hosted on TR's server so they will have the same chance in loading time. One will be a png, and one will be a gif. See if one of them sits there loading for a while after the other has loaded. They loaded about the same time for me. Of course, in the end the decision is yours as what you want to do. All I'm saying is it's good for a forum/website to be cross browser compatible, and if you must make it look right in one, I wouldn't choose the minority browser to make it look right in.
