The biggest annoyance that another forum I used to be a member of that migrated to XenForo introduced is that all images in posts are presented in .webp format. When someone wants to save an image or drag/drop it from a web post onto a Mac desktop, the image is saved in a .webp file that can only be viewed in a web browser and can't be marked up or edited. If someone wants to save an image from a post, it requires either grabbing a screen shot or else using a clunky browser plugin to save that image to a .png file.
If the new forum software has this option, please...for the love of all things wearing roundels...do not enable .webp image format in the rendered message pages.....

Webp is unavoidable since it offers a lot of performance benefits. We do use it alot all around the new site already (but not everywhere yet). It’s not really a forum thing but a general web use thing and I think it’s hard to find anywhere that doesn’t use it these days. The truth is there are some even newer formats that people are moving towards/getting wider spread adoption and we are as well, so believe it or not webp will be considered as an older not well used format in the future.
But to the core of the issue, you should absolutely be able to open web p images and manipulate them on a Mac. I’ve done it many times on all sorts of Mac’s and windows pcs. Is this a very old version of macOS?
