    'splain it in very small, easy to understand words and sentences.  It's not my fault I'm slow, it's genetics!:D

    Rocky, you just right click on the image, and select "copy image location", then paste that URL into the comment box as per below.

    This method works from IMGUR and basically any place where you are able to see a picture posted on the web.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Once more. Nope again.
    I copy, then pasted into the drop-down box, as instructed. But then what? I hit Enter and nothing. I clicked back in the text box, but then the photo didn't appear. Nothing there when I hit Save Comment.

    @Rocky Raab the image I posted immediately above was posted using the method I describe. It's user error of some sort if it is not working for you, as best as I can tell.

    well I tried every link that Imgur has and as you can see none of them produced a picture, if you click on the link then you get the picture

    "Copy Image Location" and paste works for photos stored  IN YOUR COMPUTER. It does NOT work for photos on IMGUR. Mr P has posted a different method than originally described.

    LOL. You're not correct about that at all. Copy image location is an available option when right clicking on an image on the web and that method works regardless of whether the image is on IMGUR or not. The image location, once copied, can be pasted into the dialog box as I have demonstrated above. You can disbelieve it all you want, but that is precisely the process I followed.

    Whenever I listen to digital music, but wish it was from one of my LP's, I use my Vinyl simulator. The picture is from PB. The key is to post the image URL/link without the IMG brackets that were required on the old forum.

    PB Picture removed.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    Okay, but what do you do after you hit Ctrl-V and the link appears in the box? Nothing I do after that makes the photo appear. (if copied from Imgur)

    Testing...
    Well, that time, it worked, but I had to use the "Direct Link" option on Imgur. The right click method still fails.

    Nope. User is no dummy. Your method may work on YOUR computer but it does not work on MINE. It is you who assumes all computers work alike.

    Rocky Raab,
    What browser are you using?  I am running Firefox, and Mr Perfect's example was done in Chrome.  Maybe that is why it doesn't work for me? 

    *Edit*

    Figured out how to post pics from  imgur.  By right clicking on the image you want to post (and selecting 'Copy image location') , or by clicking 'copy' on the direct link, the photo shows up IF I use "CTRL + V" in the 'Image URL' box.  The "paste" option to the 'Image URL' does not work for me.

    It's not just the browser. Mr self-annointed Perfect never asked which OS anyone else is using, nor which one he is. Things do not work the same in Windows, Mac, Android, Chromium, Linux...
    I'm now a Linux Mint user, and the methods described do NOT work in this flavor of Firefox.
    Never mind. I did find a way, clearly.
