That should actually be the default. It's incredibly annoying to wait for an image heavy thread to load, because no one cares to convert their images.

Perhaps PNGs take less time to encode and that is why they're used instead of JPEG. It appears that jpeg takes longer to encode with the compression. Schema really seems to try to pull every little performance trick possible, so this might be one of them.
If you're sick of converting write a (bash/powershell) script that executes as soon as you log off of starmade that converts all *.png in a folder to *.jpg in another. It should first move all files to a new folder, where they would then be converted and sorted by type.

Code:
move contents of starmade screenshots directory to convert directory
change working directory to convert directory
for each file in convert dir
check if extenstion = .png && there is NOT a file with the same name as .jpg
convert file to jpg
move file to finished directory

I hate it when people do that I find that it slows down the loading of pages a great deal. If it took 2 seconds to load normally, with imgur it takes 20 seconds.
Here's a bash script that does exactly what I promised:unfortunately i don't know how to do that
It depends on the package ImageMagick.
It also resizes the files to 50% the original size. You can change that by looking at the convert command documentation.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#@author Commodore Decker
#@date November 28, 2014
#Converts all the *.PNG in a directory to *.jpg
#then moves the converted file to a converted directory
mkdir Converted
shopt -s nullglob
for f in *.png
do
echo "Converting: $f"
# the cmd below converts the file
convert "$f" -resize 50% "$f.jpg"
mv "$f.jpg" Converted

It is beyond me why anyone would ever use windows, but that's a completely different story.
Compatibility and it was preinstalled on my computer. It's better for playing the big name games. Other than that windows is terrible. I think the hardware manufacturers like having a closed source platform for their drivers. Windows is slow and fat.

Don't forget windows updates regularly breaking drivers(at least it happens on my side regularly)
You must have a bunch of vendor specific hardware. Or just a bunch of cameras and printers. I simply don't install crap I don't need on windows.

Nope, that all isn't the case. The computer was built to run both linux and windows. As such, I doubt any vendor-specific hardware was used.
Also, I have neither cameras nor printers.

I prefer using Windows, since I play a lot of big PC games as well. Mac is terrible, and Linux... I prefer to use Linux only at places where I only do job related stuff.
Then you must have some ancient drivers on your computer (Windows XP era). M$ doesn't support old hardware. Or maybe the drivers are just poorly written.

Computer was built for win7+linux dualboot, there shouldn't be XP-era drivers on there
however, let's take this to pm, shall we?
