There are two GIFs on the Exult website:
http://exult.info/images/exult_logo.gif
http://exult.info/images/back.gif
Why aren't you using the patent-free PNG format instead?
Is it because the images become slightly bigger when converted to PNG format?

Hm, looks like Fingolfin missed those two when converting everything to .png

There are specific reasons why the logo wont be converted PNG (blame Internet Explorer). Back though, probably just forgotton. Fingolfin just changed all the screenshots AFAIK.

I thought the patent on LZW expired.

Is this anything to do with the image on the Exult frontpage not loading now?
