Pasted in link, clicked on preview, and the image didn’t appear…..just the text of the link

I looked at one of your posts, and it shows like this:

I believe the issue is that the Imgur links you used point to their own proprietary page, not the image file itself, and thus it's not getting resolved properly.

If you prefer that method and feel more comfortable with it, you can simply copy/paste/insert the Imgur link that has ".jpg" at the end, and it will show, like this (one of your original test images):

Using the Direct link version in the Postimages example above accomplishes the same thing, if you'd rather go that route.

This is a pretty common error, BTW, and I've accidentally done it myself when trying to link an image from one of those other sites. Once you've done this a few times though and gotten the hang of it, it'll be relatively straightforward from then on.
