A screen shot of just 1 minute ago, of the hardcoding in even in vBulletin.org's forums (and when the CSS doesn't load).

Both sites are suffering some DNS glitches now. :(

PNG is great for quality and transparency. To be honest, i only use GIFs because of habbit. However, PNGs are perfect for logos and such. Also, you have to be careful and make sure that PNG is well supported by ALL browsers.

Have a gradient for the tcat and thead, and it can shrink from over 1KB down to 200bytes, for example. On banner logos, what can go for 25KB in GIF format, can be shrunk to 10KB (with text!).

It's one of the reasons, if you're a savvy admin, you'd at least switch over to PNG for the little background images.
