Everything on one particular site saves as a .BMP! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

This is really annoying me because it's *my* site. I have no idea why, but anyone using IE who tries to right-click and save any of my images get them saved as a Bitmap, even though they're all JEPGs and GIFs. People using other browsers have no problem saving them correctly, but since IE is the most widely used, I need to figure out a way that will allow the pictures to be saved properly with it.

It has nothing to do with clearing the cache because no one has this same problem on other sites; it only happens on my site.

Any clue on what I can do to set this right?

There's three or four threads in the Computer Section about this and it seems that there are multiple fixes. The most common fix DOES seem to be to clear your Internet cache...everything, including the temp files, sites, etc.

The following link provides a TON of information on how to fix it:

There ya go! I hope it helps.
