Egg the link was to Find all Posts by Jeb but it appears that vBulletin updates the database each day so the link changes.

Jeb what are you wanting to export?

Images for use within a web page are usually .jpg, .gif, or .png files.

.jpg is usually for photographs where you want a small file size but have lots of colours.

.gif is an old format but web browsers still support it and you will find a lot of web sites still using it. It only supports 256 colours, but it does support a transparent background which .jpg does not. You will need to create a .gif using the same colour background as the webpage it will be used on otherwise you will see an outline around the image.

.png is not supported in some older versions of Internet Explorer. IE 7 is the first to support it with transparency and not require a plugin.

.png files can be used where you would use a .gif in a 256 colour format and produces a slightly smaller file size. .png also has a truecolor and truecolor with alpha transparency format. These can be used for photographs where a large number of colours are required. The file sizes are larger than .jpg but also do not have the artifacts (distortions cause by the .jpg formats lossy compression).
