error images
« on: 10 January 2003, 06:29 »
my forum images will not show up. I click on view image in mozilla and it says "this image cannot be viewed as it contains errors"
I downloaded a YaBB zip with wget directly from my server and unzipped it. And the images dont work. I was using dos2unix so i thought it might have done soemthing to the images, so i downloaded and replaced the image directory with a fresh one. And it still doesnt work. Anyone have any ideas how to fix these. The forum is at http://mor.rocks.it

Most definitely if you ran dos2unix on image files it would have f00ked them up. You don't want to run dos2unix on binary files. What I suspect is that your browser has cached the bad images and is displaying the cached versions. You might try clearing your cache or doing a "touch *.gif *.jpg" on your images to make the timestamp greater than the cached versions. Then do a refresh. They work fine from here although it's slow as watching grass grow.
