Aaron, Have you notice as of about 3 weeks ago, if you decide to right click on a photo on the forum and want to save it, you can only do this in the "bitmap" form ? Something has changed that won't allow a photo to be saved as a jpeg.

Hello JR, I had noticed that as well.At first I thought it was my computor,If they are posted at 50Kb.Jpeg when I save it to my picture file it is a 365Kb, bitmap, Regards nats

JR/Nats - Check this past thread out and see if it helps: http://daggers.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/73610859/m/927105082

Hello Aaron,I deleted 1 damaged & 1 unknown file,but it still saves in Bitmap,Funny this started on my computor after the Sp2 download from Microsoft,But saying that this is the only site it saves in Bitmap,any other site it saves in Jpeg,If I log on here in Firefox, I cannot save a photo,it ends up a Webpage HTML.Regards nats

Aaron, I you right click on a persons avatar, you can save it a a jpeg. But trying to save a regular photo as a jpeg doesn't work. Now go to the Wehrmach site, or ebay, anywhere else and you can save any photo as a jpeg. It appears to be this server that GDC is using.

You can save any of the advertising photos on this site as a jpeg, and can even go to Gailen's site, Johnson's etc and save photo as jpeg, but when you try to save a forum photo that has been posted as a jpeg, you only get one option.......... bitmap ? Bob Rodgers site is using the same host as GDC and it has the same problem as well.

Right-clicking on avatar I'm able to save it as ... text document while images I can save as ... web/HTML only!

Very interesting - it does appear to be limited to this site only. Let me see if Vern or Dave has restricted something on the site.

Hello Aaron,even if I log on in Firefox,The photos can only be saved in Web Html.Regards nats

It depends on how you try to save them. If you try to save directly from the server, you get a bitmap. If you right click on a photo, select "View Image", then save from there, you get a jpeg. The reason you get a bitmap from the server is that it saves display bandwidth.

Hello Vern,your method works OK in Firefox browser,but the only way I can now get a Jpeg image of the forum with I.E. is to email in to myself.you do'nt get the option to "view image" in I.E. Regards Stan

With IE, you can right-click on the image and select Copy, then go to your favorite picture viewing program and select Paste. Then you can save the image in any format your picture program supports.

Hello Aaron,you are probably right,But up to a few weeks ago,all I had to do was put the cursor on the photo click on the little floppy disc icon,click save,and thats was it.So something has been changed by the forum server.anyway its easier to click email the photo and save the attachment later,than do it the way you suggest,Thanks Regards Stan

In IE I have a function on a right click called "Show Image" which does the same thing as "View Image" in Netscape. I can save it from there.

Vern:
I've got something on my Internet explorer called "Show picture" but not "Show image".
Jim

Hello Vern,In my I.E. I do not have that option.My O/S is Win XP .I.E. version 6. Regards Stan

Hello jim m,I have show picture on mine as well.but ir is not illumanated so I cannot use that function,Regards Stan

Sorry, mine says "Show Picture" as well. All it does is place the photo in a window of it's own, just like in Netscape. I also have IE 6, Windows XP Professional SP2.

That's strange - the show picture option is supposed to be greyed out unless an image doesn't display correctly, i.e. a red "x" or "broken image" symbol. That way, you can click on show image again and ask the web server to retry displaying the image. If everything works well, it should remain greyed out.

Aaron, I have the same problem, apart from every picture I try and save is either only in a Bitmap or Art form, I have tried all of the suggestions in the links above but it does nothing to help.I use IE and Windows XP Home.

Any idea's

Gary

Gary, After you delete all temp. internet files be sure you re-boot your computer and if it still persists you will need to restore some parts of Windows which have been removed in the update process. I had my buddy do this for me and maybe Aaron can give you some direction as he is much more computer savvy than I.

Thanks Tim, I'll try re-booting first.

Gary

Gary - let me know if Tim's suggestion works or not.

This a huge pain in the you know what and Microsoft should be able to fix it easily. I have sent them E-mails with no result

Almost every time you get updates from them this happens along with other security issues which block access to various sites, etc.

Life with monopoly.....
