eek! bmps wouldn't look good as gifs. Gifs are only 256 colors. Bmps could be, but are ususally 1000s+ But for the average user they are annoyingly uncompressed (therefore large). I would suggest jpg for them
check download.com for a shareware file converter.
As for the thread.... does it even default to bmp after you select jpg on the file before it? My guess is that it would try to save it as the filetype it is (on the server).
(you can always change it from bmp to jpg under "Save as type: " at the save prompt)
