:::::Please do not upload .gif files. They are only helpful for animations, which are best for small sprites. Images like [[:File:Spitti's Search C64 US Title.gif]] end up with problems here (when gifs are re-sized here, they have to generate a new thumbnail, but our server is unable to do that anymore). As a result, .png files are superior, so please convert .gif to png before uploading. You can use the free image editing program "GIMP" to do that (open gif, File >> Export, choose png, done!). --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 18:00, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
