When you click an image it will show numerous link options for the image.  You want the one that is called 'DIRECT LINK'.  Simply copy/paste the URL from 'DIRECT LINK' into the forum text box.  No need to use the link button or anything else.  It will auto-embed immediately.

 

This works with any image.  All you need is a clean image URL and you can paste it into the text editor here on the forums.

Ah, those share options aren't available through the Imgur mobile app.  Gotta go to the image via browser to get that direct link option.  Wack imgur gotta make my shit posting more inconvenient.😒

Imgur is what I use now. I went to it after Photobucket went to hell.

Imgur doesn't seem to allow direct linking of the image but linking to the imgur page of the image.  Is there a workaround or an option I'm overlooking?  If I paste this into "Insert image from URL"

it doesn't work.

"That's some real fucked-up shit you said."

"No it's not as fucked-up as you think when you read it in context!  I'll explain everything said!"

EDIT: What's a good image host that will let me link to this forum?  All the formerly good ones hate direct linking nowadays

My area was scheduled to get our state's first Round1 arcade this month, and I was really looking forward to go to my first arcade in like a decade to play fighting games in their proper cabinets and music games with their big, flashy machines.

Just wanted to tell that story so that posting the following doesn't feel so naked

Edit: Do tweets not show preview thumbnails?  And I can't directly upload images into the post and need to link it offsite?  And I can't link directly to twitter images?😕

Edit2: Changed browsers--preview pics are just fine.   Oop.
