- This .png is 138kbytes, and the .jpg is 19kbytes. The newly posted .jpg is also the original format, straight off of the original dev blog entry. LobStoR 23:25, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- But it's prefered to have .png files over .jpg.

- Uhm... it came from the website as a .jpg file, so I think the ruling would lean towards NOT converting it. It's not a "screenshot" it's a photo - plus this is a copied file, not screenshot'd then reposted.
