xenforo's inline image support is hardcoded in literally a dozen different places you have to go through and add it one by one. it's not hard, just stupid, and easily messed up.

i've seen more and more natural interest in people uploading webp and the last straw was two dozen broken images in fishtank. this will only work forward until the total software rewrite.

How feasible would it be to have all uploaded files converted to a leaner format? Make every image a webp. Significantly lower storage and bandwidth use at the cost of some processing power during the upload process. And as a bonus you only need to worry about a single format being displayed to the end user. It just works!
 
Relevant information about WEBP.

WebP lossless images are 26% smaller in size compared to PNGs. WebP lossy images are 25-34% smaller than comparable JPEG images at equivalent SSIM quality index.

Lossless WebP supports transparency (also known as alpha channel) at a cost of just 22% additional bytes. For cases when lossy RGB compression is acceptable, lossy WebP also supports transparency, typically providing 3× smaller file sizes compared to PNG.

Thank you Google.
