This problem is starting to get annoying and it doesnt happen everytime.

When i upload images to the site, sometimes the bottom portion of the image gets cut off. Im making all my icons 75 X 75 pixels. Should i use a different size? This happens to the actual image and ALSO to the thumbnail image that shows in the inventory. Im using JPEG files if that makes any difference. The icon i used for my Battle Axe for example was fine the first time i uploaded it. After i tweaked it a bit, i uploaded and the bottom got cut off. I know the original image on my computer is fine, because it looks fine in Paint Shop Pro, and im pretty good with graphics. Its just the uploaded version on the site that gets screwed up.

Can you provide an example of this? Like, possibly, a picture in a storygame you're working on?

Sure ill provide some kind of link to you im a PM the next time it does it to me. The only workaround ive found so far is to delet the image from "My Pictures", go into my graphics program, make some slight change, resave the file, and then re-upload until it works.

Im thinking maybe changing the image and resaving in my graphics program probably doesnt do anything, its likely just that after removing from "My Pictures" and re-uploading over and over, eventually it uploads correctly.

If you find a picture that does this please email it to me. My address is firstname-at-lastname-dot-com, and my name is Alex Papadimoulis.

OK Try it now ---

Think I figured out what may be the problem ... for some odd reason, the script I am using to upload images would chop off one byte if the number of bytes were odd.

Unfortunately, I can't rewrite the script at this point (with the .NET upgrdae right around teh corner), but I did put in a "hack" to fix the problem for JDog -- simply add a byte to the end up the file if the number of bytes are odd. This extra byte will probably be ignored for most filetypes.
