Insert Image - Wont work?

[TFroehlichIII]

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to insert an image (with a link) into a thread and it will not show up. I have tried using Flickr and Facebook to host the image and it will not show up within the thread. What am I doing wrong?

Here is a link to see what I'm talking about.

Hopefully we can figure this out.

That is not a valid image URL.

Then what is?

Something like this: https://xenforo.com/community/styles/default/xenforo/avatars/avatar_male_m.png

Which when embedded appears like this:

I tried two different URLs for the photo and neither of them worked.

 

[Paul B]

You need the absolute image url.

 

[TFroehlichIII]

What site can I host images from that give me the absolute URL?

 

[Paul B]

Any site which doesn't prohibit hotlinking.

I still cannot get this feature to work. Do you know of a host that will do this to save me the research time?

I think Imgur will work.

Thank you, I will check that out. Flickr claims to have this feature, but I can't get it to work.
