Maybe more of a nitpick than a question...

But I hate how vB 3.5.4 gives the locations of avatar images wrong - it assumes that they are all GIF's.

Particularly annoying when I want to save someone's avatar and my browser wants to save it as avatar####.gif.jpg rather than avatar####.jpg.

And no, it isn't a problem with my browser; I'm using FireFox and I clear the cache regularly. When I check the Propertiesn for an avatar, its location shows it to be avatar####.gif rather than avatar####.jpg which it realy ought to be.

Conclusion: vB is probably saving all images serverside with .GIF extension rather than their original extension.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No, I'm pretty sure they ARE GIF files. Take RacinReaver's avatar - it downloads as a jpg

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It will still save as a JPEG.

In fact, it could be "avatar####.gif.exe.par.zip.r04.rar.sfv.scr.txt.lo l.jpg" and it will still save as a JPEG.

Not like it's that hard to delete 4 characters.

How ya doing, buddy?

Point is, it's a stupid, rather annoying bug in vB.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Just open the file with Irfanview and the program will recognize what format it really is (and correct the file extension). While MSPaint and PhotoEd couldn't open these misnamed files, Irfanview could (plus it's a great picture viewer).

I was speaking idiomatically.
