This should not be true.
We do not rewrite links of images (though we perhaps should for SSL use).
In the example above, on this page, the image URL is
https://lfgss.microcosm.app/api/v1/files/464034f0bbeaeb196e59c8f62b6cf4d3f9be91a8.That isn't a shortened URL, it is an uploaded attachment URL and the long gibberish is the SHA1 hash of the file content.
There is no ".jpg" extension because it is redundant. We serve the correct mime_type (
image/pngfor the image above), and all browsers understand this.If a browser extension is relying on a file extension rather than doing sensible things like checking the mime_type, then please open a bug with the person who wrote the browser extension.

At the moment, Hoverzoom doesn't work with linked pictures as you get a shortened microcosm URL rather than the original .jpg or whatever which can get a bit tedious for picture heavy threads. Anyone got a workaround?
