I just tried to upload an image with an apc.jpeg extention (.jfif), and I received an error message saying that the file doesn't have the allowed extention.

I thought that file type was pretty standard. What kind of image files can I upload?

yes, I tried to link an image yesterday to a URL, of the image, and a big red X came up instead

Try changing the extension to jpg instead. I doubt the forum software is aware of the lesser used extensions.

The .jfif file extension wasn't in the list of allowed extensions, but I've added it now, so please feel free to try again - you may have to refresh the page first.

The list of allowed extensions is now:
zip
txt
pdf
png
jpg
jpeg
jpe
gif
doc
docx
jfif

Some sites don't allow their images to be "hot linked" from other sites, so it could be a result of that. Or it could be some other problem - hard to say without looking at the actual image. Do you still have the URL? Happy to have a look, if so.
