I know you put the img tags around it like,

But if it's a png picture, it doesn't work like,

0...gasvehicle_black2_2048x.png


That only shows a clickable link to the picture instead of the picture itself, like the first one.
 
No idea. But can you save the png as a jpeg? Like, open in a different program and do a save-as.

Nope, when I click, Save image as..., the only choice is PNG Image or All files.

Open it in Microsoft paint and then save it as a jpg.
 
Not sure what the end application is, but what I use, and very heavily, is the windows snipping tool. I just checked and it can save as jpeg. Open the picture. Open the snipping tool. Use the snipping tool to capture the image, then do save-as as a jpeg to the location of your choice.

Yes this worked, thanks. Took me a while to find Paint on the computer though.

Take off everything after the .png, above is the same link you posted with the ?v=1571611511 portion removed.

Yup. It's not the PNG that's an issue. It's the text after it that throws forum software off.
