Embedded images without file extensions

[Evan]

A lot of cloud image storage sites dont use a .jpg/.gif/.png when linking to images. Which doesnt work when trying to embed the pics in a post. Is there a way to fix this within phpBB ?

Im clicking around in the ACP and I don't see any sort of config options for the basic BB code features, it just lets us add additional ones like the Youtube one.

I haven't noticed this with image hosting services, who is doing it? Can you manually add the file type and have it still render the image?

EDIT: It looks like I could write another IMG tag using the BBcode feature, although I'd imagine the current one is just converting to a simple <img src=""> tag, which you think would still work...

amazon cloud photos does
for example


so does pogoplug cloud and i think onedrive

testing: can you see this worthless lazy animal?

Yeah the second one works, so it looks like you just can't link to a lightbox/gallery URL, you just have to copy the direct image URL.

ok so looks like its not phpBBs fault, its the hosting provider not giving you a link to just the raw image.

takes an extra step in amazon but you can get it with right click copy image URL

my bad, carry on

I've always been under the impression that you shouldn't hotlink amazon cloud images.
