Bug in VB ?? Restrict .exe file uploads ?
 

I have tried to rename a .exe file to .jpg and uploaded to my server
I am able to upload that file.

but on vb.org it doesnt works.

I want to adopt the same system, please tell me what and how to fix

Thank you.

We don't allow attachments with the extension exe here at vBulletin.org?

Dean I did not upload the .exe file I renamed the .exe file to .jpg but still the upload was denied.

I want to have same thing on my forums.

May I ask why are trying to upload an exe file as a jpg in the first place?

i was testing... this on some of my other sites (non-vb related) and hit this thing,
tried the same on my board and i was able to upload a renamed .exe to .jpg file

trying same on vb.org - It did not allowed.
Hence, i wanna implement same on my vb site and would also like to know the trick behind this

:)

Whats the error message you recive when you try it?

we are using the vb3 standart attachment system, so it may be just because of a thumbnail setting or something like.
At least i know i have not coded an exe file filter into vb.org ^^

Well i got my Apache.exe file and renamed it to Apache.gif and got this message.

Upload Errors
Apache.gif:
Not a valid image.

So if your running the latest vB then you have nothing to worry about.

So why such a angry faced icon then? ^^

Opps, im using FireFox and normal hit tab enter. In firefox it goes to the Icons. :p
