Charts and graphs and stuff that I do for here, I just screengrab, crop, and .gif it.
If you keep the colors down in the original to 4 or 8, the .gifs are still pretty small.
I know that's not what you're asking (& I don't know the answer) but that's what I do anyway.

PNG with the same number of colors will almost always be smaller than GIF (assuming it's not like a 1 pixel image, and also that your PNG compressor doesn't suck. Look up 'optipng' or 'pngcrush' for apps which will reduce the size of your PNG without reducing the quality)

for example, your userbars:
CODE 4738 Âuserbar_frank.gif
4286 Âuserbar_frank.png

1170 Âuserbar_lode.gif
699 Âuserbar_lode.png

2991 Âuserbar_zoogz.gif
2807 Âuserbar_zoogz.png

Sorry for hijacking your topic, i can't resist the opportunity to convert someone from gif to png

Yeah, and I do use png for stuff, I just worry about compatibility with older browsers (old explorer) but I guess I should just get over it. Yes? No?

..and yeah I'm sorry for the hijack too.
