Hi yes I used square brackets around img then url Then square brackets around forwards slash img.

I copy and pasted the URL into the message so it was on hand.

The image is hidden on imgur but I didn’t think that stopped me linking to it.

@Semple it was actually the same as your second string of code.

I’m now wondering if my imgur preferences are wrong?

@Semple @HecFam Yeah I think you’re both right. My link doesn’t have the .jpg as I copied it direct from the app via copy link which when pasted into the text plainly doesn’t have it or the i.imgur.

Thank you both for taking the time to help me.

Judging from HecFam post I need to resize image too :-)

This is driving me to distraction now :-D

I’m still doing something wrong despite your excellent advice. I’ll come back to this at lunchtime. And once again thank you.

So I now understand all the faults I was making.
No i.imgur
No .jpg
Also using album link URL not image link URL which I had missed in HecFam's earlier response so I was getting an unobtainable image.

I learnt all this about 3 years ago then haven't used it and forgotten the lot. Now I can upload some more photos and embed in some posts.

@Semple @HecFam thanks for taking the time to help me with this it is greatly appreciated and has saved me a lot of swearing.
