What do you mean when you say edit your games images in the AdminCP? Like try and re-upload them? If thats what you mean it doesn't work I have tried it numerous times. I have even tried to manually upload the image into the db and it STILL doesn't work.

It would be nice for it to just look for the .gif associated with the game name or even number so we didn't have to worry about the uploads not working. It would also probably be better security as well.

Well, my redneck english might be hard to understand sometimes bein that I done went and growed up in tha middle of Utah in the desert, but I think it's pretty straight forward what I meant.

Go into the admin CP, choose edit game....then scroll to the game you wanna edit. You'll see the corrupted image, then below that there is a radio button that says something like delete current image? you answer yes, then below that there is a file browser. Select the image file you want to use, hit submit, and it stores it CORRECTLY in the database using the proper BLOB format.

As far as security goes, what's more secure? a file, or a datastream protected via MD5 encryption and pass within MySQL...

Personally, I find that uploading the image into the database is alot easier than having to make sure that my uploads directory is properly CHMODed and that the paths are correct, etc.etc....just put the binary in the database, then pull when needed.
