Can't save image as 'gif' to your pics folder?

From experience at trying to save tag images from here to my pc to use as an avatar - my own computer insisted on changing the 'gif' image to 'bitmap.img' and because of that the forum system here wouldn't accept the image.

If the same happens to you - here is a solution.

Instead of 'right click and save' image use 'right click and email'. I emailed mine to google email. Always a safe bet for images and html code.

Once it gets to your email, save it in your picture folder as the 'gif' image it should be, then use as required for your avatar

I hope that makes sense.

THANKS WILL TRY THAT
