Surveillance?!?
"Everybody's doing it".
You have been running ios 11 for years with icloud optimized photo library and using heif?
Regardless jpeg is a valid and standard jpg file extension and should be added. Thanks.
Dropbox seems like a decent workaround, but you have to upload your photo to it.
Then browse to dropbox from file upload dialogs, huge pain in the ass. Every image convertor
Or resizer i tried only saves jpeg ext.
If the forum software was smart enough, it should be validating files based on file headers, not extensions. Provided an image had the FF D8 FF FE JPEG header, you could call it image.exe and it should still get through.
This is clearly not the case. A bit lazy on the programmers part.
It's free software. Complaints are always followed by the phrase, then you do better.

Free or not, why cut corners? I've already done better by suggesting it, but I'm not a programmer so I can't implement it.
You all need to understand what the forum software is and is not! It is Simple Machines forum software with some tweaks and mods. It is not software written for EEVblog specifically and to break some of the core code can cause major headaches to update the forum later.
It is far more likely an IOS induced issue than an SMF one. The majority of issues with few forums I have upgraded and made have come from IOS and Microsoft's browsers in about equal amounts.
Of more recent times specific mobile themes have become better but if you are stil having trouble then installing Tapatalk will likely solve the tablet IOS issues.
There is a string in the forum config that says: "allowed attachments: 'jpg,zip..'.
Adding jpeg to this shouldn't be hard.
To be precise: attachmentCheckExtensions
if (!empty($modSettings['attachmentCheckExtensions']))
{
if (!in_array(strtolower(substr(strrchr($_FILES['attachment']['name'][$n], '.'), 1)), explode(',', strtolower($modSettings['attachmentExtensions']))))
fatal_error($_FILES['attachment']['name'][$n] . '.<br />' . $txt['cant_upload_type'] . ' ' . $modSettings['attachmentExtensions'] . '.', false);
}
Defaults seem to be: doc,gif,jpg,
mpg,pdf,png,txt,zip
I've not seen an mpg in ages.
