# does that mean
making a gif, then renaming it jpg, will still play an animation?

i shall experiment :)

# bumholes
it doesn't work, the images placed on clubphoto will have to rely solely upon their concept/comedy value, no poncey animations here :(

# Won't your
browser then try and render it as a gif and fail to deliver the image, getting it's knickers in a twist in the process?

# Well
only if its very badly programmed.

Most browsers look at the mime type first, but then when the actual data arrives, it usually easy to tell by the header what the file actually is.

# I can go home now.
I've learnt something today.

presumably it knows from the tag to expect an image then?

# Heh
no... it knows from the IMG tag to expect an image :)

# this is exactly what happens
but it seems clubphoto are wise to this, as they won't even let you upload a file which was a gif and been renamed.
