The two images were copied and saved to my computer as .pngs.
They were inserted into the Picture Gallery as .pngs. as shown in the screen shot.
When I right click on the images after posting, Image Information tells me that they are .jpeg :wall:
I checked my Tools/Image Export Manager and made sure that the default export is resampled .png at best quality.
They arrive here as .jpegs :dunno: **
btw I use Cut Out Studio, (a Serif product) which is part of my website builder's software, to make transparent parts.

Still waiting for others to vote on whether this should be a moving feast or not, we only have your input so far.
You posted recently that this is my "legacy" *-) :worried: :worried: Have you been secretly talking to my doctors?
Hi Mike.


Perhaps your website will let you store and display a .png file but will only let you direct link the image in a jpeg file format.
Your website may be converting the .png to a jpeg when you direct link the url or embeded code.

At imgbb I can direct link an image by opening the image in a new window ( or tab on my phone) and copy the url ..
Like so.

Or I can click on a icon that gives the embeded code
Such as this:
WARNING DON'T CLICK IN THE LINK BELOW BECAUSE IT'S A AD TRAP.
https://ibb.co/6mhS9bM



Within your website, when you click on one of your .png images. Do you get an option to open the image in a new browser? Or do you get an enlarged image in a pop up viewing window? Can you right click and open the image in a new tab or browser window?
Try to get the url and insert it [ img ] here [ img]

So .. let's see what happens. I have unmovable faith in your ability to discover the issue at hand.
;)

I doubt the matelots want you to stop challenging their knowledge or memory of aircraft.

Hi guys, we use the PHP ImageMagick plugin. It will re-format the image here so that the automatic zooming / resizing works.

Not sure mate, I’ll take a look. I think this intermittently happened before with one of the browser based filters a few years ago. Could you screenshot the error for me please as it will help.

Oh that.. it's not really squashed.. it's more like a stretching out thing.. like what Concorde did at mach 2. :agree:

Joe,
I'm guessing Spamhaus has zapped you, as it has me and several other Members.
The only cure I've found (and reported here) is to power off the modem for 30 minutes.
When I go back on line, the block is usually gone.
This makes me think that it actually has absolutely nothing to do with who you are, or what you've done. My IP doesn't change AFAIK.

You tell him, George! :thumbsup:

Joe, I thought IPs were allotted by the providers?

All,
Next non-birthday, I have a cruel test, either Gold, or maybe Diamond :-O
