Broken Images

If you are seeing broken images all over the place here it is most likely because your browser doesn't support the 'Portable Network Graphic' image format.

PNG is basically just a better format - you get smaller files, with scope for more detail, while downloading they make sense earlier than a comparable GIF. Best of all, PNG doesn't have all sorts of horrible legal entanglements. The W3C ratified it as a Web standard in 1996, so if your browser doesn't support it something is amiss.
