Title: Can't upload .gif extensions
Post by: phil007 on March 18, 2004, 03:33:21 am: I get the error "When using the GD image library allowed image types are only JPEG and PNG" when trying to upload a GIF file.

Config Settings:
Accepted file extensions for uploaded pictures: GIF/PNG/JPG/JPEG/TIF/TIFF
Method for resizing images: GD Version 2
New Install

Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks,
Phil

This is in the documentation.

This is due to copyright issues, which should hopefully be finished soon.

I thought you said that Gd wouldn't 'do' gif?

But I suspect most webhosts won't be as quick to change.
