What IS the problem between my board and .gifs, anyway ? LOL
Ok, I have two problems on my board with .gifs
1. I cannot get any gifs with transparent backgrounds to work anywhere. I have tried to put a transparent gif in the header, and I have tried it in the header insert. I want my gif to be transparent so that it blends in with any background. So that when people choose different stylesheets, the gif won't be this picture with a white backround, sitting on a green, or blue, or grey, or whatever, table background.
I have put regular gifs, (black text on a white background), in there, and it works just fine. The ONLY difference in the two files is the background.
2. .gifs as attachments. I enabled the default, .gif, .jpg, and .txt files as attachments. All files upload just fine. And when you click on the file... the text file opens on screen and you can read it. The .jpg file opens on screen, and you can see the picture. But when you click on the attachment link and the uploaded file was a .gif file... all you get is a broken link icon. This has been the case for every gif file I have seen uploaded as an attachment.
The gif files are good gif files. I checked that out. Retrieved a couple from the server, and they are indeed, viable files. But my forum board simply will not open them.
For now, I have disabled .gif upload, and allow only .txt and .jpg
Anybody have any ideas ?
