AVIF images: please always provide fallback

Thank you

True. Our CMS passes on AVIFs but is not converting/adding a fallback. I'll add it to our dev to-do. BTW, which browser are you using?

By the way, your prompt reply reminded me to finally renew my TechSpot subscription.

I hope I can make it permanent.

Hey there, last night we uploaded a fix for upcoming stories where an AVIF image is used, there will be a fallback to webp and jpeg

Thanks again for the feedback and friendly reminder.
