I’ll keep trying. > > [ql5NMT9.jpg (1790×1790)](https://i.ibb.co/dwt8G0Y9/ql5NMT9.jpg) I normally use imgbb when I want to embed an image here. Let me see if I can reproduce my exact steps. After uploading I hit viewer links, selecting HTML Full Linked. Then I copy only the filespec from that link and toss it bare on its own line here. For example, uploading a random image from my hard drive right now (Pink Floyd album cover) the full text from the HTML Full Linked is this: \\“Cover”\ The full filespec is inside the quotes in the part where it says \, so I pull that part out and put it on its own line: https://i.ibb.co/PvpfxP77/Cover.jpg I manually disabled that link above with a \ right before the :. Here it is without disabling: [![](https://i.ibb.co/PvpfxP77/Cover.jpg) ](https://i.ibb.co/PvpfxP77/Cover.jpg) ---

[![](https://i.ibb.co/5XKYhFvm/arabbitworld.jpg) ](https://i.ibb.co/5XKYhFvm/arabbitworld.jpg) I did that and it still won’t post. The link looks like it should - disabled here with an extra / before : - https/://i.ibb.co/5XKYhFvm/arabbitworld.jpg but I don’t get a photo. Ah, the problem is that it works but all I see in preview is the link. The photo is there after I post. Thanks. ---

Mine came up in preview but it was a very long delay. Several minutes, at least. And happy to help. ---

a test of image uploading, since I’ve never done it before (I think). [![](https://i.ibb.co/jPpNwvRs/test-img.png) ](https://i.ibb.co/jPpNwvRs/test-img.png) ETA: That didn’t work, but it showed up briefly in preview. I think it stopped working when I tried separately to alter the display size of the image to 50%, even after reverting. Trying again with a new image: [![](https://i.ibb.co/QjdTm5nG/test-img.png) ](https://i.ibb.co/QjdTm5nG/test-img.png) ETA: Okay, they both showed up now, after a delay. ---
