How to add an image to your posts.
Directly linking to images on other sites that are not expressly for that purpose (known as Hotlinking) is not permitted. The OcUK moderation team reserve the right to remove any image that is suspicious of being hotlinked.
You may use your own webspace for hosting pictures or files but it's advisable to use a well known image hosting website to upload and share your images and files.
There are many files sites that can be used for hosting your images.

Code:
[url=https://ibb.co/zfS8sQg][img]https://i.ibb.co/s3F5jb4/IMG-0902.jpg[/img][/url]
Code:
[img]https://i.ibb.co/s3F5jb4/IMG-0902.jpg[/img]

Even easier if you use a shortcut.
iOS shortcut that adds image to imgur and copies to clipboard
