Thanks ShoujoQ, your best yet. To make the image banner-ready, I used webp format for the first time instead of our traditional jpg, so as to preserve as much quality as possible after compressing the image. I think all modern browers can display webp without issue but if someone is having a problem let me know. (Lynx users, you may be out of luck.)

Just out of professional curiosity, why WebP instead of PNG? Sure, WebP is more technically advanced, but PNG is still more widely supported.

And for months I never got any of the groups getting them at once. There was always one group that didn't have one at any given time. But FINALLY, H!P graced me with the an entire H!P photo series of girls with their colored backgrounds.

(This has a transparent background, not sure if it will work with the current banners, but you can try?) :momochi:


I would love to see a Quiz! Hexagon game with H!P members. :giggle:

^^ The original smaller image was a PNG file almost 500KB in size; I wanted to get it down to around 100KB so the banner loads quickly for the end user, and is less taxing on the bandwidth limits of jplop's "unlimited" web hosting plan. Standard PNG is lossless and will only self-compress by a small amount (In this case from 479KB to 400KB). There might be a lossy flag but it doesn't customarily come up. So normally I just convert prospective banners to JPG as part of the workflow. But since ShoujoQ mentioned that it the image was transparent, I thought it would be cool to preserve that aspect. But JPG doesn't preserve transparency, so that leaves GIF or WebP. GIFs are a dithered mess and have no use on today's Internet, thus WebP.

Well, in Safari 16 on macOS, I'm not seeing transparency between the hexagons. It's all black outlines.

Hmm, yeah it looks like the quick and dirty app I use screwed up the alpha channel conversion a bit. I see it's only partially transparent. I'm going to try again with a professional app and reupload it.

EDIT: OK, should be working now. Thanks for the feedback.

It works now. Thanks for going to all the trouble of fixing my monster. Next time I’ll try and see if I can do it myself. :clap:
