Problem copying Pics!
« on: November 01, 2014, 03:03:33 pm »
I have a very strange thing that has started to happen on the forum! We have a montly contest where members submit pics. We then add a poll. I have always copied the pics that are submitted, saved them to my computer and then uploaded to Photobucket! For some strange reason now, when I try to save a pic from the forum to my computer, I now get a message saying "Windows photo viwer cannot open this picture either because photoviewer doesn't support this file format, or, you dont have the latest updates to photoviewer" It is happening to all of us, not just me  :( Some members are getting a corrupt file message instead! It has just started happening in the last couple of days!

Any ideas?

Thanks  :)

I can't, as it won't let me save the pics from the forum to my computer. I can give you the link to the contest thread which shows all the pics which I normally copy. I normallyn just save pic as to my pc downloads ad then upload to PB. Here it is...

Same problem here.  

However, I can copy & paste pics from forum to my blog or email.  That comes okay.

Image saved from forum to computer comes like this ..... but I seldom need to save from forum to computer so it's not a big problem for me.  Copy/paste images is more useful and that's working.

Tested on my smfforfree test forum. Attached a jpg file to a post and was able to download and open it without issue.
