WebP images?

[DizzyDigger]

It seems that all the .jpg images I click on, or upload, are converted to WebP during posting.

Is that part of the upgrade, or have I got a setting wrong?

It's automatic, nothing you're doing. Webp uses a different compression method than jpg, which gives (sometimes) dramatically smaller images. That saves resources on both ends (server and viewer), making the site cheaper to host and faster to browse.

Since the upgrade I can't view any images on the Imac. Just the white question mark. Text is OK, just any picture.

Could be a browser or OS version issue. On my iMac, running Sequoia, everything works normally. I just checked with an ancient MacPro running High Sierra, and with Safari, it won't display the webp images. However, Firefox on that old Mac works just fine, and images display normally. If your hardware allows upgrading the OS, that would probably solve it. If not, adding Firefox should do it.

Thanks,
The system is 2013 so Catalina is the end of life it seems.
I'll try Firefox and see if it corrects it.
