Brilliant job with the newspapers

Yes, it is just a concidence.

You've taken an interesting approach to the game, 111222333444, and I'm sure I'm not the only one eager to see where you go with this.

I shall have to ask you to change your .png images to .jpeg, though. Our MD rules, which you may view here, discourage the use of .png files because they take a long time to load and require extra bandwidth. If you do not know how to make the change, send me a PM and I'll be glad to assist you.

-Joan (Jmouse), SC4D Administrator.

Hey everyone,
Due to the jpeg only rule, the Times Of Troix will not be able to be published on SC4D. The small text is not readable when in jpeg format. You can move this MD to the inactive section.

Here is a message from the editor, 111222333444.

If you are still reading this... I have a good news and a bad news:


The Good News is:


It is not about the Simtropolis, the largest online Community or the community I would love to call Sim Mania
There is a new test card found just below the bad news...


The Bad News is:


If you're from SC4Devotion or an SC4Devotion Fan, The Times of Troix and the CJ Troix will BE SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY on that site. That means you are not going to receive reception from all the latest news from the Times of Troix and the awaited relaunch of Troix because of ongoing issues between the Chief Editor of Times of Troix, 111222333444, and the moderators and the administration members of SC4D.

Peeking out of my MD lurker mode here...

But why not just use GIF? It's only grayscale after all, the 256 unique colors that GIF is limited to covers the entire gamut of a grayscale image (0-255, pure black through pure white). And it loads extremely fast.

From what I see from your PNG above, uses 24 bpp (bits per pixel) which means that your image is more than three times the size it needs to be (you only need 8 bits in a grayscale PNG)

EDIT: Your file (Money is...) is 985 KB. Saving it as a 8 bit grayscale PNG reduces filesize to 144 KB. Converting to 8 bit grayscale and saving as a GIF reduces filesize to 126 KB.

GIF has been tried and the text can not be read. Thank you for your input though.
