I don't mean "go crazy with the images". As Michael mentions - it costs
disk space. A lot more that text-only bug reports. Sometimes a
screenshot is needed to explain a problem, but if you can explain it
without a screenshot, all the better.

Other space saving tips:
 * Often a full desktop area, or whole window dump is not required.
   Select only the area of interest for the screenshot.
 * PNG's are most used, but can be large because they are lossless. Use
   Indexed PNG's instead. They can have an optimised 256 colour palette.
   More than good enough for a bug report and normally a fraction of the
   original size. (The Gimp: "Image -> Mode -> Indexed").
 * Don't include videos in Mantis, they are WAY to big. Upload them to
   a reliable source like YouTube or Vimeo and reference the URL
   instead.
