Support for .png images

[artford333]

I just tried referencing a .png file in a post, and the lounge responded with:

"You are not allowed to upload images with that file extension."

Any chance of supporting .png files?

Great to see the Lounge getting the attention it deserves. I was a one-time user back in 2005 (have always been a fan of Woody's - going back to the MOM PC book that started me on the road to geekdom).

Thanks for all of your hard work.

Regards,

Can you say a bit more what you tried (specifics) please? PNG images are allowed here. See my post a few minutes ago.

We could upload .png files before, but not any more...

Huh?

Al,

I now get the error too when I want to post an uploaded .png file...

Let's try again then...

Thanks for the quick replies, everyone.

I get the "You are not allowed to upload images with that file extension." error when attempting to use the Insert Image [attachment=86889:insert_image.png] button on the toolbar:

Uploading .png files and clicking "Add to Post" allows it to work OK. (which achieves the same end results for me, so I'm happy!)

Thanks again for the responses - curious to see if I'm doing something wrong with the "Insert Images" button - any ideas?

Sounds like the default scripts for that button need a little editing.

Mmm.
As mentioned by AJ, and as found in the Test Area, now, there seems to be a problem using png images in links but not in attachments.

See this post and the following in the thread "Signature test" in the Test Area.

Is it still the case that we can't link to .png files, even those in the Lounge? I just tried:

and got spanked.

Thinking that it might be INSIDE The Lounge, I just tried to use the image tag to a PNG on my web and it won't do anything either.

Dave, it seems that AT PRESENT, you can upload .PNG files which is what it looks like you did. But see MY post above where I tried to link to a .PNG file on MY web site and it doesn't work.

Must be that we MOD's can but the users can't, hope a Admin sees this!
