The software for downloading images from posts on Litty has a bug which frequently bites my ass. JPEG images are incorrectly shown to have a MIME type of image/pjpeg, instead of the standard image/jpeg.
On Windows, this works out ok because M$ violates the W3C specs and ignores MIME types for images, checking instead the first few bytes of the file to see what type it really is.
At home, my other browsers faithfully follow the W3C standards, and offer to save the unknown MIME typed file to disk instead of displaying it.
It should be a simple fix in principal, but I'm not familiar with the sofware running the boards, so perhaps it is truly broken.
