Sorry about that. Please try again. Thanks for all of your help by the way.

While looking at your website, twilliams81, I could not overlook the compressed lettering in the category header names. This is easily corrected by adding the following three lines to the end of your Joomla site template CSS file (../templates/rt_entropy_j16/css/joomla.css):

I conducted my test on the target website. There was not file renaming that occurred. As I wrote earlier, the appending of a date-timestamp as part of the filename only occurs when an image has been uploaded on a second or subsequent occasion. This fact was likewise demonstrated on the target website :

(1) Where three attachments were uploaded the first time (msg #4336) there is no file renaming;
(2) Where the same three files were uploaded a second time (msg #4337) all three files are renamed as you would expect. I made this very point earlier in this topic. It would not have mattered if the files had been .JPG, .GIF or .PNG.

I cannot disprove the possibility that files are renamed via conditions other than those as I know them to exist and as I have, myself, have tested them. I am unconvinced that there are random occurrences of file renaming. I am further unconvinced that the conditions are only confined to .JPG files and Firefox. I think my test was fairly conclusive on this last point.

I do not think that the cause of these problems relates to whether the files were uploaded via a certain brand of operating system, or a certain web-browser nor whether the files were created under Photoshop or any other specific image editing software.

The real problem, for me, is that I have not been able to prove that the problems, stated as a kind of random file renaming, actually exist.

Thanks for the tip! I'll add this today.

Thanks sozzled. After testing it further I have also concluded that it is working as designed. Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
