Poor Save Image Graphics, On The Website.

    Whenever I look at a save now on the website, using mobile, and I happen to zoom in, the graphics quality of each picture is seemingly worse than it was before. Before I was able to zoom in and view each pixel on the save very clearly, but now everything is all blurred together, I'm guessing this would be a "clear" indication of a new picture quality setting for the save thumbnails (Maybe not thumbnails) and the image of the save itself on the website. Also, why do all saves appear in Fire Mode? It is not an issue, but it was rather a basic question I had.

    Here is a sample image. (On Android I can't take screen shots so I can't show you what I am saying exactly, but I'm sure of you looked for yourself you will most definetly see what I mean.

    Great. The non-deco thing was intentional, but besides it there are 3 things.

     

    1st, no-deco makes us want to use elements for pixel arts, like fire and thdr.. automatic fire view in thumbnails ruins them.

    Fire View should be OFF or at least optional.

     

    2nd, thumbnails not updating at all.

    By deleting deco in thumbnails, the person which did that also deleted their updating function.

     

    3rd, this, which R3APER found out. Something changed the quality on Android.

     

    1 removal caused 3 problems, 2 of them being actually serious bugs.

    I'm sure this will be fixed, though.

    It doesn't look so bad to me when I use Magnifier. It just lookes bad when it's small.

    @Sergeant_Starfruit: Exactly it looks bad up close. This is because of Image quality.

    Now whenever I zoom in using screen tapping or whatever it may be called, the image close up looks like someone abused the blur tool way more than necessary.

    The save thumbnails should look exactly the same. If you look on github, all Simon changed was to add decorations_enable = 0 in the renderer. I don't know what would cause this.

    I updated my save and the thumbnail updated instantly to show my changes. I see your front page save hasn't updated though, I'm not sure why, but at least the glitch doesn't affect everyone.
    Also, fire mode is what everyone uses, so it's the default view for thumbnails. If render mode was saved, then it should show what view you had it when it was saved, I think.

    Jacob, It had been fixed recently -__-. It affected everyone's saves, except the non-upgraded ones.

     

    Which front page save!? I have no saves in fp.

    I posted a comment on it.. while making a party because you finally realized the thumbnail non-update bug dimensions.

    I suspect this is something to do with your mobile provider. A lot of mobile networks compress images using proxy servers to save bandwidth. Turn mobile data off and Wifi on and see if you notice a difference. The only thing I changed was the decoration, the resolution is the same.

    Thumbnail updating seemed to be affected until someone fixed it, though.
