Commenter photo does not support png images

[FrancisTurner]

I tried to personalize my commenting presence on someone's blog using commentoplusplus by clicking on the settings (edit profile) link in the comments area.

I gave it a URL to a .png

that is valid and exists (https://micronetia.devtru.st/content/images/2021/01/micronetia-square.png )

It does not display in the comments. Instead there is a blank circle

and if I right click and view image I get a text message:
JPEG decode failed: invalid JPEG format: missing SOI marker

When I change the link to one that is a jpeg one (https://micronetia.devtru.st/content/images/micronetia.jpg ) it works.

The text surrounding the photo box does not mention that jpeg is the only supported format:

Photo
Use an external image hosting service such as Imgur and enter the direct link to the image here. Changes to your profile photo may take a few hours to reflect. Maximum file size allowed is 128 KiB.
