I can't submit something to the main site because it thinks a PNG is a BMP

[littlelum]

Basically what the title says, my thumbnail is PNG but the sever says it's a BMP (Thereby causing it to reject the submission)
Any ideas?

[OssieTheOstrich]

Have you tried using a gif file version of the thumbnail?

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Completed), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (In development), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (In development))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, in development)
Angry Birds Slingshot Frenzy (In development)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (In development)
Super Hilda DX (In only conceptual phase)

Yes, I am aware that I have about 6 or so fangame projects currently in development at the same time. And yes, I am also aware that all of this is very ambitious.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)

Are you using MSPaint by any chance? The earlier version of MS Paint will save PNG files in BMP format. I would recommend save it as BMP and then convert it to PNG using a 3rd party software like GIMP.

No, I used a program to rip it from a game. It said it exported it as a PNG, and my computer says it's a PNG, but the mainsite says it's a BMP. (The part that confuses me is that my computer says it's a PNG)

There's a good chance that the exporter program saved it as a BMP. Try opening it in Paint and re-saving it as a PNG, that ought to fix it

Hylian's day job, little did we know, was saying controversial things on the internet.

you fool!!!! you fixed it wrong!!!!
