HEIC file support

[olyclimber]

With the new forum software I did some testing today and I found that the new software (or is it Apple doing it on export?), when I post an image from my iPhone (which I know is HEIC format), it posts as a jpg automatically so the Forum software renders it.   

If I share the same HEIC image to my computer and upload it from there as a HEIC, it is not converted and won't render.  Since I never had this issue I can't even remember how it was!  But if you're just using your iPhone to post a TR, then it will work seamlessly.  If you copy your iPhone pics to your computer and they are in HEIC format, you'll need to convert them first (to JPG is what I recommend), otherwise they wont render. I'll post examples here of the same photo so you see what I mean.
