    Hey guys,

    I have a site with the default allowed file upload types set (jpg,jpeg,png,gif,psd,ico,bmp for image). This works fine for me on Ubuntu, and also windows, but my content writer is using a mac. She gets an error saying "not allowed to upload this type of file" - even when it is a legitimate jpg with correct extension. If she emails me the file I can upload it --- whats going on?

      I suspect her user overrides are not set ... or more likely the "use system defaults" is not checked. Security > Manager Users > Username > User tab ... about 2/3 of the way down.

        Thanks! Wouldn’t have thought of that... I naturally assumed that as I was admin and she was a member of administrators, she’d be able to do anything I could.... Why isn’t that sort of thing set as default??

          It should be.
