I would like the site to support .tiff attachments as this is the default format for a screenshot with 'Grab'.
Got a tip for us?

TIFFs are big and are unsupported by browsers, as far as I know. Can't imagine LZW, layered or CMYK TIFFS being of much use either.
Do what I do: copy and paste it into an image-editing app and resave it down to a suitably-sized GIF or JPG. It's no big deal.

What she said! Just open the tiff in preview and save it as a png or whatever. It takes like 10 seconds longer.
I am completely acknowledgeable about the technical part of things.
Easier than your method is opening the .tiff file in preview and then File->Save as. You then choose JPG as the format. No copy and pasting.
EDIT: robbieduncan beat me to posting the method
I copy and paste because Photoshop is always running. 😉
Better control of JPGs and GIFs through ImageReady as well. That's all. Never use Preview.
