Whenever I download one, I have to convert it to a REAL file format before I can do ANYTHING with it. Shit's getting old. Can we just declare usage of that file format as being a bad practice so it can be phased out?

Reminder: I tried to get Allen to add it as an upload format and people in the Suggestions forum actually voted against it. Because any change on GameFAQs is bad.

That's a good question. Most suggestions are met with "I don't think we need this" or "not many people care about this."

The gamefaqs image thingy converts everything into heavily-compressed jpeg, so adding in webp support won't affect much. Maybe the image thingy itself can't handle it - it ruins transparent pngs all the time.

Jokes aside, I really think there's a lot of people in that forum trying to impress Allen by telling him the site is perfect as it is and nothing should ever change.

A bunch of years ago I suggested the "hide topic" feature and got this as a response.

I felt mildly vindicated when it was actually added lol.

I prefer JPEG XT

But I can understand why JPEG XL is winning over XT.
