That is weird since the second tag should work. Even on mobile. I never have any problems. It could be your imgur url is not correct. I always host my images on postimg.

I think its the link that might be acting a bit weird, when i follow link and copy link myself i get this

https://i.imgur.com/I6Gc7DT_d.jpg

Which should be the image url that should work



Hmm wait why is it so small

@NEBULA: Yeh the link you posted there is not correct. An image url always needs to end with .png, .jpg, .gif. Imgur doesn't want you to hotlink anymore so they make it harder to get the correct link.

I suggest postimages

It also gives you a hotlink for fora url.
