Please have a read through here: http://www.websitebaker2.org/topics/files-and-permissions.php this is the most common reason for this kind of behaviour.

I'm getting the same problem, it wont upload jpg or png even though i have the correct file type. When i click on the back link it takes me to the website home page.
I have run the little script to check permisions and all is ok for permissions.

Hi,
Exactly the same problem here.  I upgraded to the latest build but cannot add group images to any group without it taking me back to the homepage after erroring saying the file type is wrong, even though it most definitely is not.

I've had a look around the database and cannot find where the image would be stored for each group, so i'm wondering if something wasn't updated when ran the upgrade script for 2.8.1 or wasn't installed.

Database fields on the four tables are as follows:

mod_news_comments:
comment_id, section_id, page_id, post_id, title, comment, commented_when, commented_by

mod_news_groups:
group_id, section_id, page_id, active, position, title

mod_news_posts:
post_id, section_id, page_id, group_id, active, position, title, link, content_short, content_long, commenting, published_when, published_until, posted_when, posted_by

mod_news_settings:
section_id, page_id, header, post_loop, footer, posts_per_page, post_header, post_footer, comments_header, comments_loop, comments_footer, comments_page, commenting, resize, use_captcha

I imagine the solution will be the same for us all.  It's definitely not a permission issue.

hi,

I did find that using opera,chrome firefox etc worked ok without problems. Appears to be an IE7? fault.
Im still trying to find a resolve to the problem.
