You haven't given us much to go on, but I suspect that this is what happened:

 

  1. Your original image has the ProPhoto profile embedded.
  2. You have exported without checking Convert to sRGB and Embed color profile.
  3.  The forum you have uploaded to strips out the embedded profile.
  4.  The image is now untagged, but web browsers assign sRGB to untagged images, and this is the wrong profile for the image, which now displays with desaturated colors and/or a bluish/purplish cast.

 

You should never use ProPhoto for images leaving your computer.

Always check Convert to sRGB and Embed color profile when exporting.

I tried that and it still shows up purple when I send it.
