File extension bug when uploading pics

+9
−0

I just noticed a bug related to file extension when uploading pictures to the site. If you have named your file *.JPG the site complains about invalid file extension since it only knows *.jpg. Renaming the image file to lower case solves the problem.

Very likely a classic Windows vs Linux bug. Linux is case-sensitive, Windows is not. And so various screenshot tools like to name image file extensions in upper case in Windows... just for the sake of it.

As for who should pay the cost of having this bug fixed: bill Gates.
