Normals Problem

Is it just me, or is it a bug?

I have a simple mesh, plane
select the two vertices

extrude them, vertice only, then size them y-axis

I then extrude them again x-axis

I then procede to fill and bleh, normals are effed up, and flipping normals doesnt work

EDIT: How come the damn images dont display? :x

maybe cuz they are .bmps? im not sure but the img thing might only work with jpgs?

The reason your normals aren’t correct is the way you have filled in the verts after extrusion. Blender only allows 3 and 4 sided faces. Do one of the following instead:
