I used paint.net and the only real object it gave was 24bit.
There were dithering and quality options but they were greyed out.

not that kind of settings, that's just quality options
stuff you can't change yourself, afaik
just have to use a different program, or hope it doesn't do the same thing with another format

Uh... your avatar is showing up just fine to me. Refresh?

same here.

at the very least, you should always read the page you're posting on

It worked when I changed it to .gif

It worked when I changed it to .gif, so Faslex must have been right.
It was a 24bit png by the way, idk if that matters.

fastlex isn't right, it's not bc of the format, it's bc of the way the image is saved in whatever program you're using. specifically, something about the file header, according to some SMF guys
my avatar was a png and it worked

.PNG Doesn't seem to work at the moment, however .GIF does.

png avatars will work
it's not really related to the format itself

I recommend GoDaddy because of their reliable customer service, reasonable prices, and efficiency. What are you planning on hosting anyway?

godaddy's hosting is too expensive for me
I mean, it wasn't to begin with, but it is now

also it has some disadvantages that probably won't affect me but still

because windows server costs more
from what i've experienced linux works much better for hosting things simply because its much more resourceful than windows

oh

well anyway, I'm probably gonna use mochahost
but their three-year package doesn't include a domain name, so it will work to register the domain with godaddy and use it with mochahost, right?

You might like Mochahost.com, if your mission is just to host a personal website. Even if you only buy a month, it's like $3 a month. Even lower when you buy extended periods of time, of course.

is there any advantage to using windows servers instead of linux? I imagine there is, because it's a lot more expensive than their linux servers :v

I use a VPS to host my site. This one, in fact. You should see if you can find a VPS service in your area thats relatively cheap. I like using VPS's over a service for sites, because you can use the VPS to host your site as well as host servers for games and things.

that is pretty interesting thing, but with stuff like limited storage space and bandwidth, while hosting24 isn't limited, and having to consider all the other factors like RAM, it isn't really worth it for me
especially since hosting games is useless to me, because I wouldn't be able to play on them anyway :I

anyway, the point is, a VPS isn't for me

I use hosting24, I love it.
000webhost pulled kind of a richard move by saying it's "$4.84/mo*", that's only if you buy 3 years at a time I think.

I figured hosting24 would be fine, I've been liking 000webhost, I just wanted to know about others people might like

Or he could just have an advanced piece of technology inside him that pretty much powers him indefinitely. Like Tayas character Matt. He's got an infinitely spinning gear in his chest thats producing energy.

yeah, that's ridiculous

Well, if I designed a giant mecha, it'd convert all the shell casings into energy, somehow. So the only way to power the robot is to keep on fighting.

that definitely wouldn't generate enough energy to power the whole robot
and they'd have to be made out of some fuel, which would probably not be the greatest idea

like, hosting websites
I've been using 000webhost's free hosting, just for messing around, but now I want to get something better
000webhost claims that its paid hosting is $4.84 a month, but trying to order that just takes you to the hosting24 site, where they charge $7.80 a month
so I'm guessing the price on 000webhost is assuming you buy one of the discounted lengths on hosting24
anyway, it made me think that I might wanna consider a different service, anyway

so I just want something that is acceptable, lets me do whatever I want (not as important, and rules about illegal stuff are ok of course), and is no more than $10 a month
