I've been trying to upload a gif but when I view the original, it appears as a jpg. In the help page, it says it will not convert gif's. Why is it converting it?

Thanks.

Hi Orlcam,

Can you point me to the photo it's converting? It shouldn't be converting gifs, so my guess is it believes it's something else for some reason.

Thanks,
Baldy

I couldn't attach the gif. It's too big.
Here's the link to the jpg image: http://megacam.smugmug.com/photos/11770071-L.jpg
What I just notice is the -L. Although it is the "original" it has a -L instead of a -O as is done in my other photos.


thanks.

to take a little test. I donloaded some GIF file from the 'Net and uploaded it to one of my test albums. What I noticed is that on the "share with friends, forums" page there is no link to the original picture, the biggest one is large.

I also set "allow originals" flag (after I uploaded gif) and tried to look at the original. I could not tell the name of the file, and I could not notice the difference.

Just FYI

Thanks, that was it, I needed to "allow originals". Once I did that I was able to see the original gif.

Glad you worked it out:-)

Cheers!
