I've struggled to do this, I clicked insert image on the editer, and uploaded the link from imgur, and it just posts an error.

imgur has been FAIL for me for a few weeks now, had to go back to Tinypic

just copy/paste the 2nd link for forums/msg boards..

Make sure your image URL includes the file extension such as .jpg or .png

Also in your screenshot you haven't closed the image tags with a forward slash [/IMG]
 
you weren't pasting the file path, you were posting a path to the page.

Paths to pages don't contain the file name (name+extension), you want the direct image name so

[-img]http://imagehost.com/folderPath/filename.png[/img] (removing the initial -)

next up - posting youtube videos ;)
