I save the updated header as a JPG and it accepted it. It's odd because the original header was a BMP and it accepted that.

I'll leave this here in case someone else has the same problem.

I had a custom header with the default theme. I made a small edit to the BMP file in Paint Shop Pro 9 and saved it under another name. When I tried to upload it as the new custom header, I got this cryptic message:

File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another.

What's this all about and how do I fix it?
