I just noticed this with the latest skin, but why do images have to have no extension to be able to work as a preview

E.g: Preview.png→Preview

Notice that it has to have no extension

Because if someone uploads a JPEG or BMP file, they would then have to rename it to "Preview.png" (which makes even less sense). Renaming it to something without an extension takes into account whatever type of image someone will upload (as it's not just PNG that works)
