.PNG message icons?

[Ray.]

I'm having issues with .png message icons, it's saying that it couldn't be fount, but if I try .gif it works.

Can you use .png?

[Kindred]

Not without changing the code

There is an old dodge where you use PNG images, but edit them manually to change the suffix to .gif. It may not work with all browsers these days. I haven't used it for ages, but it's easy enough to try it if you want to.

It definitely won't work with IE 8+ given the way SMF is currently configured. Also may not work on Chrome for the same reason.

[Antechinus]

Far enough. I haven't tried it since IE7 was around.

[Arantor]

Yeah, the line in index.php that references 'nosniff' tells IE and Chrome to verify that the content of the file matches the type of file it claimed to be.

Well can I do anything about that question, because I saw a forum that had nice msg icons, and when i downloaded them they were in .png format.

You can either convert them to .gif, or you can edit the various bits of the code to point to .png files.
