Images related questions

[capflam]

I noticed that Xenforo is not using common file name extensions like .png or .jpg for attachments.
So I searched Google Images and pretty much couldn't find any of the attachments in this forum.
I've found avatars though of course because they have an image extension.

1. Is there a way to keep the original file names with its extension?
Like for example placing the ID before the file name would be enough.

It's very important to me as I have 10's of thousands of images in attachments that drive traffic to my forums.

Attachments aren't accessible to guests on this forum, so they won't be indexed. This obviously excludes avatars.

XenForo does append .jpg to image avatar URLs, regardless of their file-type. All (most?) browsers interpret the mime-type correctly anyways without the proper extension using the response headers.

Nevertheless, I do agree it would be nice to have the proper extension.. but it doesn't affect indexing at all.

Edit: appends to avatars, not attachments

I was just about to come back saying that attachments are blocked in robots.txt here so that's normal
And yes it would be nice to do it in a more friendly manner with an extension.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer.
