Hi, I had to install mahara 1.0.10 as we do not have curl installed. All seems to work ok including the cron job. However, mahara will not accept image files in either the profile icons or in the views. In the case of the profie icons the message after an upload attempt is The file you uploaded is not valid image. It must be a PNG, JPEG or GIF file. and in the case of trying to create an image in a view with the An Image block, the block will not show any of the image files from My Files once the block has been dragged to the view layout. The Browse button does not show any results either. However, I am able to access the files through the File(s) to Download block. Any idea what I might be doing wrong or a setting I have to activate?

Hi - do you have the exif PHP extension installed? I think we missed adding a dependency check for that. If you don't have it, try installing it and see if it works.

Thanks Nigel, the admin and I will look at it later in the week.
