Attempting to upload PNG fails

PNG is in the list of allowable file types, but an attempt to upload an image of that type generates a message saying that that type is not allowed. Linking to a PNG works. ![alt text][1] ![alt text][2] [1]: http://ask.sqlservercentral.com/storage/temp/216-db+image+1.jpg [2]: http://ask.sqlservercentral.com/storage/temp/217-MCTS(rgb)_1270.gif

@Kev Riley @matt 4 @DaveC(Using names to make sure someone do not not miss it) What should be the behavior you expect, if this had been your answer and I had passed the comment? :) I did not receive any update about Kev Riley's last comment :( This is where this [question][1] is still not marked as accepted. Damnnn.., I was not able to get the 50 points bounty for it ;) [1]: http://ask.sqlservercentral.com/questions/50426/meta-email-to-be-generated-on-comments-response.html
