Image Extensions

[Wsh]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I did do a search and could not find anything that related to this problem.

Anyway I am getting a lot of broken image links on my forum. The weird thing is that it is not consistent and when I reload, the images turn out fine, sometimes other images become broken while the ones that were broken will load up.

To remedy this I thought about reprocessing the images to JPG. The only problem is I am not sure where in vB the option is to change the extension as a global setting.

If anyone can help, please post up.

Thanks in advance.

There is no global setting, you would need to change each occurenceof .gif with .jpg

However, are you the only one expercing this problem? What browser are you using?

What I mean is if there is some language file or something that has all the names there that i can change all the gif to jpg, cos right now I'm not sure where in the code i can edit that.

As far as browser, I've tested it on different computers using a Windows platform and using IE 6. I believe it is reoccuring on ANY VBB, just reload the a VBB a buncho times and it will happen at least once. Even on this forum.

Still sounds like its a browser problem on your end, ive never expirenced this problem on any sites that are running vBulletin.

Have you updated your IE recnetly? there used to be a bug about downloading images that would cause them to break repeatly, as well as download accelerator, which would do about the same thing.

Try clearing your chache and restarting your browser :)

I suspected it was my browser, however whats happening is that the front page of the site would often load broken images (ESPECIALLY the New Post/Old Post Icons). After further inspection I found out it was happening on a lot of IE browsers because not only was it happening at my house but often times I would go to the labs at my university and it would do the same exact things for VBB boards. Mozilla does not have this problem nor does netscape, so I believe its an IE bug.

Instead of finding out whats wrong I'm thinking of just replacing the extensions. How/what file would I edit to change these extensions?

I really dont think changing the extensions are going to help.

However, if you want to, youll need to edit almost every template within vBulletin to remove the .gif and change it to .jpg, along with convert every image file.

or use the replacement variables to modify all instances of gif to jpeg :p
