    Incorrect file types being downloaded?

    Ok.. So yesterday, I was downloading some user's avatars for the christmas avatars thread, and they all were .gif's. I was fine with that, until photoshop's pre-parse module came up saying there was an error opening the file. After a while, I figured out that if I opened them in paint or something and resaved them, they'd work fine. Now, however, I realize something far larger is at work here....



    Ok... So that's wrong. I decide to save it as a .jpg instead, since that's what it looks like it should be (after analyzing the properties of the displayed avatar), and it opened just fine.

    Is this an error in FFR's uploading of the avatars? Changing the filetype, where it still displays a different type?

    Delete .gij and attach .jpg at the end of avatar103957_26 instead.

    Your current file name: avatar104957_29.gif.jpg
    Your new file name: avatar104957.jpg

        post-dumps abstractly represent the existential nihilism that the song invokes in the listener with negative space, evoking the ephemeral nature of the mind - the journey of stepmania begins in hope yet soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis

          I know--I said in the OP that I did that.

          I'm just wondering why we have to do that in the first place... Especially for .png files, it doesn't even show .gif.png, it just shows it as a .gif.

          And we shouldn't have to. It should just natively download in the format it was written in, not automatically .gif or added .gif.

            Bump because this is still unaddressed.
