This is either the dreaded advertising banner problem, or the MIME-type problem.  Advertising banners mess up the animation data on alsmot all servers.  The MIME-type issue mostly plagues Windows-based servers, because the server will not serve file types it cannot identify.

If you have a Linux server, in the documentation folder of your distribution, there is a file called ".htaccess".  Copy it to your oekaki folder.  This will keep banner ads from screwing up the animation data.

If you have a Windows server, as I suspect, somehow you need to register the ".pch" and ".oeb" animation formats as MIME types, as follows:

Code:

.pch = video/x-pch
.oeb = video/x-oeb

MIME is the standard used by servers to tell what type a file is.  Unfortunately, this is a server configuration issue, so it is something only your system administrator can fix.

Sorry I have not gave more information about my server. I'm running a Fedora core 3 dedicated server with Php 5.13 and Mysql 4.1.16. I do have root access to my server so if it is fixable. It should be ok.

I honestly did not notice this problem because my oekaki board isn't the main feature and my artists have not told me about it. So I did not notice this problem until recently.

About the documentation folder of my distribution... where exactly would that be? ^^;
