Change gif images

[mirfälltnixein]

Hi i tried to change some Icons of the Core theme, I opened them and edited them with gimp and saved them but whenever I change an icon and reload my Forum the Icon just dissappears any ideas why it doesnt work?

Are you saving them in the same format? For instance, .JPG, .PNG, .GIF. Case sensitivity is also an issue.

Yes, I even copied the original icon and replaced it with a modified version

If you restore the original icons, do they work?

[mirfälltnixein]

yes, I can also use other default icons if i copy and rename them, could it be that I need to use something else to edit the Gif files?

Attach one of the gifs that doesn't work.

Nothing wrong with the image, displays fine in Core.  Are you replacing a gif with a gif?  Are you uploading them to correct directory?

[mirfälltnixein]

yes same file type and same directory
EDIT: Ok Its working now, for some stupid reason the file owner was copied with my gif files so everytime i copied something into my smf folder it had the wrong owner, opened terminal and used chown www-data:www-data and now its working

Thanks for the explanation! I visibly had the same issue somehow, but it's all solved now. I wonder why this happens...

[Kindred]

because the host has something badly configured

Okay, thanks, I'll be looking into that then!

Hi, I have also faced the same problem. I also need the solution of this problem since I'm very new in this forum. I 'm working on different image post production platform for my image editing work. Thanks for raising such important question and solutions as well.
