imgBB test. Still can’t get it to work. I’ll keep trying.

testing Shutterfly. I had an old account there. This does seem to work.

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:

<a href=“https://imgbb.com/”><img src=“https://i.ibb.co/PvpfxP77/Cover.jpg” alt=“Cover” border=“0”></a>

The full filespec is inside the quotes in the part where it says <img src=“”>, 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:

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).

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:

ETA: Okay, they both showed up now, after a delay.

Just paste the link in and it should work. Keep it simple.
