If so, Google "webp to jpeg". Go to that conversion site, convert the pic to jpeg, and then download the jpeg to your computer.

THEN, use post images on the converted jpeg file.

Never use postimages. They throttle, you keeping being fooled by seeing the image, but almost nobody else does. nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #7

Do you have an account on postimages ? dweller Oct 4 #2

It's got webp in the link. I used to get those on Post Images underpants Oct 4 #3

I clicked on your link. I then Right Clicked on the picture it displays and chose "Copy Image Link" progree Oct 4 #4

I'm going to try that JohnnyRingo Oct 4 #8

I see a cartoon pic with a guy with a rake inside a glass ball on a pedestal labeled Fall etc. /nt progree Oct 4 #9

I told you in the other thread to ALSO try right-click and Copy Image Link. I don't think you tried that Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #5

Postimages throttles. Are you a premium member of it? Then you will always see it. If not, clear your browser cache. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #6

My two cents worth. usonian Oct 4 #13

postimages is deceptive. It will seem to work, for the poster, but not others Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #14

I can repost any that fail, but haven't had any gripes. Yet. usonian Oct 4 #15

The cure is to use imgur (free and don't even need to sign up) and ditch postimages. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 4 #16
