I’m fairly new to BuddyPress, and today i noticed that i can’t upload pictures with and uppercase extension, so i looked into the code and i found this function in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php, line 524:

`function bp_core_check_avatar_type($file) {
if ( ( !empty( $file ) && !preg_match(‘/(jpe?g|gif|png)$/’, $file ) ) || !preg_match( ‘/(jpe?g|gif|png)$/’, $file ) )
return false;

return true;
}`

I simply added a ‘i’ to the final of the both regular expressions to make them case insensitive, the result:

`function bp_core_check_avatar_type($file) {
if ( ( !empty( $file ) && !preg_match(‘/(jpe?g|gif|png)$/i’, $file ) ) || !preg_match( ‘/(jpe?g|gif|png)$/i’, $file ) )
return false;

return true;
}`

So, i wondering, is this a real fix? or i missed something?
