I cannot say, as I did not try to look at the image.
It should have been fine, but the post was removed.

On Monday 9-20-21 I sent the following message to: forums@mozillazine.org . I am not sure if that was the proper place . But I will post that message here.

(Also, the correct user name that I have is "v_v" not "v.v".)

----------
I registered for my account on Saturday 9-18-2021. I did receive the activation link and was able to log in. After I finished writing a response to one of the posts I was unable to post it because either I had been logged out or timed out or ??? When I tried to log in again my account said "The specified username is currently inactive. If you have problems activating your account, please contact a board administrator." Thinking that I needed to re-activate for some reason I tried to "resend activation e-mail". Then I received the following message "Your account has been manually deactivated and is only able to be reactivated by an administrator."

???

Please assist.

[For a new but inactivated member it is very hard to find out how to contact a forum administrator. When searching for the proper method the search wording apparently has to be just right. Today when I used "how to contact administrator" the following topic "How to contact Administrators PRIOR to Account Activation???" appeared. When I tried on Saturday, 9-18-21 I do not think that result was available.]
