Bad URL when changing personal icon

[pincpanter]

After some unsuccessful attempt to change my icon, I finally realized that image URLs with capital letters extensions (.JPG, .GIF) are rejected as "bad URL".
Pls correct this or add a remark to the error message.

Great idea!  Does this look better?

 

Sorry for the trouble!

I would suggest that you remove that restriction and accept extensions with any combination of upper and lower case characters (e.g. rename them to lowercase on the fly during submission). Many times (e.g. on windows), the extensions are hidden by default and it might not be obvious to the casual user how to modify it.

To the OS, a JPG is a jpg is a JpG. Same difference! So why should a website care at all?

There is no reason to make users jump through flaming hoops for nothing important. 😄

It's been added to the list!  Of course not "The LIST", but you know what I mean
