I normally take a screen shot and post it instead.

For a country bumpkin, this guy knows his stuff.....

Is there a workaround for posting links with .webp file extensions? The insert image button doesn't seem to get along with Webp images.

The fix is for me to add it as a supported image extension in which I just did. I tested it out, and it works great. Enjoy!

Thank you! That's what I was wondering. Very appreciated.

...now eBay images and google heavy sites can be linked directly once again.

You're welcome. I thought that image extension was already enabled by default, but come to find out I had to add it manually.

Just be mindful that if you're trying to hotlink images from other sites, they sometimes won't display depending on the sites security practices. For example, it appears eBay doesn't allow the hotlinking of their WebP images as I just tried it to see.

Well... darn.

Can have archive.org take a snapshot of the image then hotlink from their site but that's not any easier than just posting a screenhot...

[Lowgear]

Yeah, hotlinking is a generally frowned upon practice so a lot of sites block it, I know we do. Still though, the WebP image format is becoming increasingly popular as time goes by so it's a good idea to make it allowable here. For example, if someone wanted to post an eBay image as an attachment, they would have to first convert it, now they don't have to.
