Some PNGs not working in browser?

I try opening the image in my browser (Safari), but it does not work. I have to download the attachment to look at it.

It works in Firefox. Anyone else using Safari having this problem? Oddly other png images work fine (from this thread)

They are all being sent as application/octet-stream, a generic mime-type. Is phpbb butchering these images (like with animated GIF previews)?

Could be, but it works fine here...

Looks like it doesn't like image/x-png.

Its not a bug in webkit, Camino displays the image.

Edit: camino doesn't use webkit. oops.

They show up for me, and I use Safari 1.0.3.

works for me in firefox but I really hate pngs ... well not pngs but the fact that most people post em without compression which is a real memory hog

Jonathan · Post by **Jonathan** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 3:24 am

Usually they're posted with compression, but not very good compression. How is it a memory hog?!?

iceman · Post by **iceman** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 3:26 am

coz I only have 128mb ram

Jonathan · Post by **Jonathan** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 3:41 am

128 MB is more than enough. A typical 800x600 screenshot needs maybe 1.6 MiB. That's 1406.25 KiB of raw data needed for viewing (irrelevant, since it's needed for other formats as well), and the compressed version of 230 KiB. If it compresses to 600 KiB for some reason, the total is still under 2 MiB.

maybe I should turn virtual memory back on
