No, it looks the same on other boards aswell. .jpeg is a horrible file type
maybe other boards are using the same compression technique for the same reason

1. Your photo editing software is really badJust saved it as jpeg. AND .png, obiously the png looks 10x better
2. Its not fair to compare 60K image to 10K image.
PNG 10 kb
<- vs -> JPEG 10 kb 
Now say which one is better.

I really hope that will never happen.

But yeah i think it would be a good idea to allow more image file types to be used as avatars, but not only .png
I think .gif should be allowed aswell, as it allows us to have animated avatars, well it may be bad quality as .gif but i would personally like to have an animated avatar =)
Also a little hint, next time save your .jpg's a little better, as jpg's can have quite a good quality aswell if saved correctly. I.e. with Adobe Photoshop there are alot of options wich allows you to compress the image with a better quality. And i got no problem with my .jpg qualities the problem occurs when i uploade them to FS. Then they get more blurred and noisy.

It is because HCS runs all uploaded media though a crappy compression filter which kills alot of the quality on the media...

ha yeah I've uploaded JPGs that looked fine, but once on the profile were crummy. :roll:*.png has better compression then *.jpg's but that is not the reason your avatars will look like crap when you upload them...
