has been moved to the mod forums. Since this involves another Mingle2 member, who has no control over the situation. I do not think this is a Mingle2 glitch.

The problem is that when I pull up the codes, they show as the standard codes for a dancing banana.

I may be the first monkey with a typewriter to write a novel!

I did a bit of checking today, and it comes down to, this has to be something in your machine.

If this were a glitch, then at least a handful of users would have experienced the same issue.

Jeanniebean did a bit of work, and it was a fine effort, but the bottom line is, the photos were uploaded from a mobile device, which may have a slightly different designation than those uploaded by pc.

I will get with Charles and the techs, but i'm almost 100% certain this is not on our end.

I suspect a virus on your end.

I did a complete virus scan and now will do the anti malware you suggested. I think it is the result of a random number of keystrokes I managed while digging through the pile of paperwork on my desk in front of the keyboard. Some images got swapped in a way I don't know how to do.

My dancing banana is back!!! I did a full scan with MS essentials and it was still there but it did find an adware hit of medium threat. I turned the computer for a while this morning and the reboot after the full scan has my dancing banana back!

Maybe a net gremlin came in and fixed it!!!
