There's a picture I'm trying to upload, but it just refuses to load. It says that is has a .bmp file extension, but it doesn't! All my other pictures loaded up. I had to change some from .jpg to .jpeg for them to load, but this particular one won't load. I've tried making it a little smaller and I've tried making the extensions .jpg, .jpeg, and .gif, but it still won't load. Help? Any other extensions I can try?

Hello,

Changing the name on the file doesn't change what type of file it is. You will need to go in to Paint, go to File, Save-As and select, as the file type, GIF.

GIF is good for illustrations.
JPG is good for pictures from a camera.

Good luck, reply with your success/trouble.

It worked, but it's just weird. Changing the file extensions under the Rename option worked for the other ones. Oh well, I'm just happy it worked =)

lol, yeah changing the extension doesn't change the file, but luckily, most programs can tell the difference. Not sure why it would let you load like that, and not normally...
anyways good luck. What game do we have on the horizon??
