The quick fix is a one word change on line #23 of the original template. Please see post #17 above (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=17) for the details.


For those not familiar with, or haven't come across it yet, the bitmap issue was....

Some people using IE were having problems when they went to right-click "Save Picture As..." on the new smilie. Instead of seeing the name "fps_smilie_creator" as the file name to be saved and PNG as the file type they would instead see "untitled" as the file name and "bitmap" as the file type. The file would still be saved and would work fine but by saving it as a bitmap instead of a PNG it wasn't saving the transparency of the graphic, instead the new smilie would appear with a white background. Because the file would still save some people didn't even realize that there was a problem and just assumed that the white background was normal.

To confuse matters even more not all IE users were experiencing it. I finally tracked it down to the fact it would only happen if there were spaces placed into the smilie message. In other words, an IE user creating a smilie with the message of "Cool!" would see "fps_smilie_creator" / PNG but an IE user creating a smilie with the message of "This is cool!" would see "untitled" / bitmap.

What was causing me frustration was the fact that only IE was experiencing the problem, Mozilla Firefox would always properly recognize both the file name and file type.

For people who already have it installed changing the one line I gave earlier (the part about "+text+") will fix the IE problem. Changing the one line will have no impact on either the template or the new smilie image, it'll just take care of the IE right-mouse issue.


I really do appreciate everybody's patience in dealing with the problem until I had a fix. Thanks, everybody!
