Wacky Pbase

OK brand new baseball hat (Giant logo) to the person that figures this one out. I'm either too stupid or have spent too many hours photographing ducks and have become a bird-brain.
All images that I post to by Pbase account up load as jpg's. Right click on any of them and click "save picture as" and they show as a jpg. So far so good.
When I post an images in the forum from Pbase, it has been brought to my attention that it you right click on it and choose "Save image as" it shows as a BMP. Darn big files for nothing.
I have checked my Pbase settings and cannot see a problem there. Have I missed something through a haze of feathers

geez, I posted this in the wrong place.....excuse me <backing out of room> I'll get it moved

Not a pBase problem

Assuming you are using IE, that typically happens when the "temporary internet files" cache used by IE gets "x" full.

Clear out your cache Tool/Internet Options/Delete Files and try again it should give you choices.

Yep, MT is probably right. That problem is caused by a full cache. And it's on their end (the person trying to save the image), not yours, Ian. They need to clear their cache.

Thanks for the tips guys. I tried that but guess what. Still shows as a BMP.
Cache is cleared. File name is also "untitled" even though a name has been assigned. Any ideas?

As soon as ya tell me the right way (and it actually works )I'll send it to you. It is a really great hat. FlexFit Custom Super Light.
Now, what is it I'm doin wrong

Ian,
i do it the hard way. i copy the web address from pbase, paste it in the post, and put a .jpg on the end. works ok for me. probably an easier way,
but i'm 2 stupid to figure it out!

thanks,
eric

looks like this

Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

Right Click on the image in PBase, choose Properties, highlight the Address (in IE) or Location (in Mozilla & presumably Netscape) and right click again and choose Copy.

Up above, click IMG, right click and Paste, click IMG again to close:

Scottes - I get "forbidden"!

OK, Ian - mouseover gives me a jpg, but "save-as" wants to do a bitmap. I don't understand it either, unless Pbase has some kind of setup to help protect your images by making them extremely big.

Hey!!! Where'd it go????

You can't link to a PBase image that way. You only use the image #. For that image above, the URL would be http: //www.pbase.com/image/ 26244955.jpg (spaces added so it doesn't actually insert the image there), like this:

Aha!
