I am trying to post some unboxing photos of my new Lumos, but can't seem to find the right commands to get visible images in the post.

I have the photos on Imgur. So I copy the "Share Link" from Imgur, then select the "Insert Image" icon and paste the link.

When I do a Preview, I get a little file box with a white diagonal line through the lower right corner of the box - no photo.

What am I missing?

Don't have a clue about Imgur, but to post your photos directly to your post, you just need to use Windows Paint to make them smaller than 500 pixels. Good luck.

Select your photo/image on Imgur. On the "Share and Edit" screen use the "Linked BBCode" url... copy and paste directly to your message. Insert Image and File Upload do not work with Imgur.

You can even center your image with the bbcode "center" and "/center" between the square brackets.

From Imgur you can have bring something like this....






Hope that helps.
