Hey guys...
Anyone been to sites where you try to pick up an animated gif and the only "save as" option you get when the save box opens is for a .bmp?
And no, I don't have "use comperessed graphics" set. I'm able to get what I need 99% of the time in the correct format. We got rejected for link list inclussion by Penisbot because I couldn't get their dang animated gif recip ... so used a text link instead. I've also had this problem on another site as well.
Don't quote me on this... but I think this is a cache problem. Clear you browser cache and try again... you may have to restart your browser as well.
Let me know if this works.
Ok... I just went to Penisbot and tried to grab a recip with IE... it didn't work... hmmm. I never thought I would say this to anyone... ever! Use Netscape. The "copy image" function works fine on Penisbot. Maybe this is an anti-microsoft statement from Penisbot.
Mozilla Firebird works fine, too.
Bec,
GA has been having this problem too and we cant figure it out LOL
Done the clearing of the cache thing, ran spysweeper software till we're blue in the face too lol
Waiting for word back from one of our tech peeps to see if they know as soon as we know how to do it, you'll know too LOL
Regards,
Lee
LdyLnWolf1,
As Lee mentioned I have the same issue. It has to be a cache issue but I still haven't figured it out. I can save files when I start IE but after a while it start doing bmp.
One method I use, if it's a case that I'm in the middle too many things and just can't shut down at that moment, is to email the image to myself. Along with Save this Image is an Email this Image option on the menu. When I do this, I get the original format. It's not the answer to the issue but it is a way around it in a bind.
I need a fix for this too.
Regards,
Gary-Alan
Thanks guys --
I did have several people go and try to get the recip ... and all got the .bmp option only. I finally just made 2 screenshots of the damn thing and made a new gif!
I recently cleared out cache, cookies and temp files, so doubt that's the problem. It's only been a couple of places I've run into this and wondering if it's a site protection script they may be using, or something in their .htacess that is somehow messing up the save.
That's what I thought too, Bec. But to compound my confusion it happened on my own gallery sites, where I know .htaccess isn't there. I dunno. If I do find a permanent solution, I'll let you know.Quote:

Here we go for a possible solution..
1. go to tools dropdown
2. go to internet options
3. delete cookies
4. delete files and make sure you check the offline files and then say ok....
that should do it, but if not then:
1. go to tools dropdown
2. go to internet options
3. click on settings
4. view objects
5. delete anything that doesn't say installed
Just tested in on GA's machine and it seems to have worked like a charm :thumbsup:
Regards,
Lee
Lee you forgot to mention you just pulled that info off of Microsoft.
And so far so good! ;)

U2 crack me up! I'll let u know if it works! Thanks!
i had the same problem in ie so i went to the recip page using netscape with no java on, and was able to download it as a gif with no problem.
would it work to just add the .jpg or .gif
to the file NAME ??
or would that just make a picture that was
showing up as (example)
RedFlower.bmp
named:
RedFlower.gif
(by physically typing that in the save as window)
would that then in the hd
really show up as:
RedFlower.gif.bmp
??
not sure...

bell, it probably would but if you go to one of the penisbot recip pages http://www.penisbot.com/reciprocal_buttons.html?cid=35 you'll see that when you try to save the button, it comes up as untitled.
i'll stick with netscape to download the graphics ;-)

netscape sounds easist...
I don't have it on this particular computer...
when the graphics come up untitled - I'd name them what the
source code wanted them called so the site they belonged to
would get a true scan for recip button (by graphic name)
but that's few and far between... still an option though...
but just using netscape would be nice and quick...
I've never had 2 different browsers on on hard drive before...
years ago someon told me they would conflict and cause bookmark
corruptions... so I never installed netsape on any systems
since...

i have netscape, mozilla and ie on the harddrive of all three computers with no problems at all. i had ie and netscape on every computer we've had since 1996 - i think that's 9 total. if netscape makes you nervous (i use the old version), use mozilla. it works for this, too.
after all, when you make web pages you don't know what it will look like in other browsers without checking. i've had some pages look great in ie that barely work in other browsers - which are 11% of my traffic.

I actually tried that. And in this instance, with IE, it didn't work. When I tried to open it, my graphic program could not determine the correct format. The file said .gif and the image code must have still read .bmp - so that when I started to email images to myself.
Actually the fix Lee found is working for me. I haven't shut this computer down in two days and I can save images without issues, now. Before, I would work about an hour then I would start having problems.
basschick - I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised how many webmasters do not check their pages in anything but IE. I'll admit I don't use mozilla often, but the difference between NS and IE means a lot. I'm with you!
My best,
GA

I don't recall ever trying to open one of the graphics I had
thought I successfully saved the way I described... so I imagine
that if you couldn't open it when you tried it - - - that all
those graphics I saved that way - are corrupted on my hd - and
I am just now learning about that... yuk.............
thanks for checking that out...
I'll save Lee's advice for the fix - when needed in the future...
thanks...

You can pick up safe downloads of Netscape here:
Netscape
You want the 6.2.3 version.
i use a 4.2 version, i think. the older, the less crap they put in it *LOL*
you can get mozilla at their site, and it displays mostly the same as netscape but with less plugins and ads - same as the old netscape.
LdyLnWolf1 and basschick
- thanks for the Netscape information...
I'll look into that...

Hello guys.
Sorry for the late answer, too many boards on the Net.
You can use well composed text links with double linking to index and niche pages. We allow it.
Well, I'll try one more time - I've had like 2-3 sites denied over and over again because it isn't the "right" image.Quote:

If you have problems with downloading our buttons, you can use text links like here:
http://www.cunterstrike.com/freesite...weetnudeteens/
http://www.alinternal.com/hot_pussy/
Or grab buttons from another sites already listed on PenisBot:
http://go.virginshardcore.com/tiny/jana/
Or use 1 common and acceptable for all niches button like here:
