I've just submitted a photo for the current challenge. I uploaded it at work, but now at home I have gone to save it to my home pc but it's showing up as a BMP file. Is this normal for images awaiting voting? I'm certain I uploaded it as a JPG.

I've checked other peoples images on this site (obviously those in finished challenges and those being voted on at present) and they all appear as JPG.

I'm I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Jaxson

I think this is a bug in Internet Exploder. It's trying to save as 'untitled.bmp' I assume? Your entry is fine as long as it's showing up. Clearing your temporary internet files may solve the problem

This is a "fun" little internet explorer "feature", yes, and can happen even without the name "untitled" in some versions. (Assuming you are using IE, or a Windows browser that uses it underneath - if not - it still is but that may not help you!) If you do a save-as of a jpg by right-clicking it, you'll end up with a BMP in some versions of IE.

The following will work for IE6, not sure about previous versions: To get around it, you can either create a link to the photo (on a personal web page or a file on your machine or the like), right-click it, and select "save target as" (which will work normally), or you can just go to the page where your photo displays full-size, and select "file", then "save as". Save it as "web page, complete". Wherever you save that, it will create an HTML file, plus a subdirectory with the same name. Your photo will be in the subdirectory - copy it out and delete the rest.
