Re: inserting pictures in my posts doesn't seem to work for me

#1 by carebear90
Whenever I try to insert a picture, it gives me something that looks like this: 

https%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2Fa%2F2lmj7nw

instead of this: 

https://imgur.com/a/2lmj7nw

Any idea why or how I could fix that?

I already tried changing browsers and typing the code in manually. 
It's only with images too. Normal links work just fine.

You need the direct link. One that ends with .jpeg or .png and opens the image only. (No website frame around it.)

Check the share or link option in the place where you hosted it and look for direct links.

Use the BBCode link for forums like this. Otherwise it won't show as an image.
The image should show up the preview as well.
