EpicFILE 200 Posted August 12, 2015 Hi! I want to show an image in a post, but I cannot post it because the image extension is not allowed. I'm using .png anyway. Anyone knows how to correct this? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ Takeo212 1,079 Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) out of curiousity, did you rename the file extension, or was it saved as a PNG originally? Sometimes if you rename the file itself, it doesn't format correctly. I suggest opening the file in a program (either Paint or GIMP - if you want transparency) and resave the file as a PNG again. EDIT If that doesnt work, then the only thing I can think of is using an outside source and just use the img tags to show the image Edited August 12, 2015 by Takeo212 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wren 179 Posted August 12, 2015 It's better to upload your image to a image site such as imgur or something and then use the button or tags to just display it in your post. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it's the best way. Using attachments can be sometimes problematic. Using image hosting sites such as Imgur lets you easily post images here with the full resolution.
