Problem with displaying a specifc image inside a post

  1. Hello,

    When writing this post:
    Artillery FOOs embedded with the Infantry on D-Day

    as I uploaded the photo (which I had reduced to below 2MB), the usual buttons "insert image" with the choice of "thumb" or "full" did not appear. I then manually inserted the link to the address of the uploaded image in the text, but only the link, not the image, was shown. Then I changed to [ ATTACH ] (attachment number) [ /ATTACH ] (without the spaces of course), but this still did not display the image, only the link to the attachment. Reproduced here:
    View attachment 249705

    I tried displaying other images in that same post and it worked OK. It seems that the uploader or the forum software does not recognize this particular file as an image (jpg) file but as another type of file. Not a big deal but I like to see images displayed in posts. :D

    On the phone at the mo, but it seems to be just over 2mb & some sort of non-standard jpeg.
    The phone is trying to use the Maps app to open it... None of my image handling apps will recognise it.

    For the moment, have screenshotted & here's a jpeg.
    Will have a look on the PC later to see exactly what sort of file it is.

  3. Very strange indeed... I have reduced the original image size by half and it now loads all right.

    I had initially reduced the image size by owering the jpg quality (to 75%) using FastStone Image Viewer 6.4. This must have done something weird to the file type identifier.

    But using the same software to reduce the image size did not create any problem...

    Problem solved then! Came all from my end, sorry! And thank you for having looked it up.
