Major bug posting images

[Wahesh]

Not sure if anyone else will see the same thing, but when posting an image link, the preview always shows the image, then the actual post itself will only show the red x as if there's an error instead of the actual pic showing up.

It's not a bug. Sites generally don't like direct image linking (to preserve their bandwidth), that why you are getting that issue. Also it's in PNG format (not all browsers support direct PNG viewing).

When posting an image I always copy and paste it into MSPaint (or whatever), then paste directly into the forum. Doing that hosts the image locally and will auto upload it (and that works from mobiles too).
