Please don't use jpg for things like this, use PNG. I will upload a PNG version at some point. Bruce89 15:04, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

Unfortunately, PNG uploads aren't allowed. Good idea though, better quality is always nice. Shade 17:09, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

Is there a page where you can control which filetypes are allowed? You're a sysop now, Shade, so you can fix it. ;) On the other hand, if it's a configuration issue, an admin may have to muck around with the website settings. Goober5000 23:31, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

I am not sure about this but it might have something to do with Mediawikis config settings. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?PHPSESSID=h05i80htp1rh118mr56ajs48k5&topic=48826.msg990814#new AFAIK I cant even check that (afaik LocalSettings.php file http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings) to view info so its up to some one else to do it. - Wanderer 01:06, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

There wasn't any page I could find that lets us edit those permissions, so I think it's up to the higher powers (after all, we all know bureaucrats are the de-facto higher powers these days). Nor are we able to bypass it ourselves, I tried uploading the same file and it'll gladly say "No, Bad!" to sysops too :p - Shade 08:01, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

Indeed, this is a file that has to be edited by the administrator of the wiki machine, or someone who can access its files. Specifically it has to be $wgFileExtensions of the LocalSettings.php file in the MediaWiki installation. Bruce89 12:56, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

Try now. Goober5000 18:58, 12 August 2007 (CDT)

Still doesn't work - "The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file and upload again." I tried with the PNG and png extensions. Bruce89 11:21, 13 August 2007 (CDT)

I just tried it, too. - Still doesn't work. - Supernova 12:08, 13 August 2007 (EST)

Well, phooey. I did exactly what it said in the site. (Of course, maybe I did it incorrectly...) Time to get Fury or Sandwich or Tolwyn involved.
