Hey,

It's the ' in the file name. Remove that, reupload the image, and it should be fine.

it still wont work is it because of my user name?

Hey,

Ohhh yeah. That's it. The system renames the file to your username (old code flaw). I could easily take the ' out of your username if you like. Changing source code is not somthing I want to do right now.

Wouldn't it be easier to use user number, avoiding this whole issue?

Hey Kalium,

Yes, but the image upload code was written at the beginning of the site. In order to switch, I would have to write and test a script that would rename all uploaded images that are in the system already then update the upload code. Doing that is much more time consuming at the moment than just swiching the username.

So you're doing a quick patch instead of eliminating the issue?

I guess I understand that.

If you can be lazy....

I'm too lazy to finish that statement.
