invalid filenames for uploads

Post by rperkins »

In Ubuntu linux, when you hit the printscreen button it creates a screenshot of your desktop. The default filename it uses is not accepted by the forum. The forum doesnt like the colon.

Code: Select all

Screenshot at 2012-02-05 15:08:46.png is an invalid filename.
Looks like its hard coded so I will learn to live with it :)

A colon is normally used under http protocols to indicate part of the url...

e.g. http://www.xyz.com:80/filename.jpg

I imagine it is not allowed to save browsers getting confused.
