Why do all the recent images have ".dat" on them?

Or has M$ upgraded Windows again so as to make it even more unusable?

That appears to be some issue with the web interface. Something broke 
with the recent update?

Does anyone know what has happened and if it will be able to be repaired.

I use the web interface at both home and work (work I don't have access to
newsservers) and the result is the same for both, a .dat extension on every
image (also for any other attachment type).

It appears to just be appending the extra extension, not actually changing the
file.  DLing it and simply removing the extension makes it viewable.

really, so which dweeb is responsible for this BS. Everyone sucks except for the
ones that dont. TGQ you rock and dont suck. But I'm outta here because of the
mentally challenged ones who run things around here.

clipka youre just a jealous dork,
Warp, you fair no better,
and Jim Henderson AKA John Dense Rim, youre the biggest dense rim ever!

The fact that this stupid crap wasnt fixed the same day, speaks volumes about
these pathetic turds.

Later. I'll always remember Trevor tho, anyone lucky enough to work with Trevor,
should thank their lucky stars.

oh and that dork using MSBS to compile povray 3.7, learn something foo.

LOL! That made my day :-)

Still, gotta take advantage of using a newsreader by now... let's see, 
where might that functionality be hidden in T'bird...

(*browses through menus*)
... ah yes, I think this should be it. Sorry it took me so long to find 
that function, it's a first for me you know. Anyway, here we go:

     *plonk!*

Whether a newsreader can be used or not is irrelevant to the fact that the web
interface is currently broken.  If it wasn't to be used and we should all be
using newsreaders, it wouldn't have been created or exist in the first place.

Problem is, I don't have access to newsgroup server from work.  As such I got in
the habit of using the web interface.  I also use it at home as I don't have to
go through setting up a newsreader, and as a habit.  I also like to use it when
I am at other people's houses like my parent's, so I don't have to go through
setting up a newsreader on someone else's machine. If not for the web interface,
my presence here would certainly be impacted (whether anyone really cares or not
is another story...).

Is there anyone that can actually figure out and fix what is wrong with the web
interface?  Looking at the image digest, it appears that the last valid images
were posted:

I wouldn't be too optimistic about that - he's been promising it again 
and again, only to resurface once in a while. Which I wouldn't mind, if 
his cameos weren't limited to spontaneous unprovoked rants recently.

Ah well, I'm forgetting about his star trek spaceships...

Whoooosh!

Sounds like the mime.types file isn't being found, but that's just a guess 
from what I'm reading here.
