When I try to do that with a .jpg file I still get the message that I can only post .jpg's. But my screen is allready .jpg. :banghead:

I just added another, although the forums are going slow as balls. 9.675s to load a topic on cable, vs 1.656 at other forums.
It works fine, are you uploading straight out of the sro screenshots folder?

Euh, I'm uploading 'em from a folder on my pc. Does the folder matter? :P

Not really, just wondering if they were saved by the sro game, or you.

I saved it with fraps in a .bmp and changed it with paint to .jpg.

You do know when you hit print scrn it saves a copy in the sro folder...

I didn't know that, but I use Fraps. Or sometimes print screen and the ctrl v in paint.

It does this mostly when the filename is not unix/php/url compatable.

In example

Uploading a file directly from your screenshot folder, or using special chars in the filename.

Rename it to something like "myscreenshot.jpg" and try again.

The name means nothing. The script renames it to a numerical value before it is storead anyway.
