72591 2002-08-20 05:26:00 I've found a neat pic that I want to save. In the address bar it's a .gif file but when I try and save it all I get is the .bmp option and it's loses its animation and transparent background then.

I haven't come across this before - how can I force the browser to save it as a gif?

72593 2002-08-20 05:31:00 you could go through the cashe ( thats probably spelt wrong) files and dig it out of there... Might pay to empty the folder and go to the site again, so you don't have thousands of boring images to look at! Chris Wilson (431)
72594 2002-08-20 05:31:00 Internet explorer 5.5 Susan B (19)
72595 2002-08-20 05:35:00 mmm... just note down the file name and look for the first 3 maybe four letter in your temp internet files dir!

Ok I know this is a bit late now, but can you not right click on the picture and use "save picture as..."

In fact just the other day I was at a web site and you could not use "right click" options to save picture, but you could save "web page complete" and get to all the picture in the folder it makes.

Not often I just save pictures at web site. it was just one in a blue moon
