I just created a new IMGBB account, with the hope of sharing photos from it on this, and other message boards. So far, I cannot seem to share photos (on another message board). But let’s start with square one: can you see the photo in [this](https://jimbee68.imgbb.com/) link? It’s of a recent snowy day in Detroit. I guess I’ll take if from there. BTW, anyone know anything else about IMGBB? How do _you_ use it? Thank you 🙂 ---

Here’s something weird about imgBB. They make it a little tricky to link directly to images. I like to right-click the image and select “open image in new tab,” or the equivalent in your browser of choice, and that’ll get you the actual direct link, free of extraneous stuff.

I see the image just fine. On my browser (Edge) I right-click the image, choose “Copy image link”, and then if I paste that link here it does this: [https://i.ibb.co/r5mymy0/278754487-2079021612269326-7649589448809355779-n.jpg](https://i.ibb.co/r5mymy0/278754487-2079021612269326-7649589448809355779-n.jpg) Seems to work just fine.
