Function for writing posts, "Insert image:" I hope it wasn't asked 10 times before
I searched in the forum for a solution, but wasn't able to find one.
Your FAQ claims this:
Can I post images?
Yes, images can be shown in your posts. If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board. Otherwise, you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc. To display the image use the BBCode "img" tag.
When I use the function "Insert image: [img]http://image_url[/img]" and put my URL inside it shows me this:
That's my setup Image (the word Image is written a little lower) and there is no link behind the word Image and/or no picture is shown.
I tried to use the function for the first time here viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2204&p=53418#p53418
I used this URL https://ibb.co/tM7n6bZ to upload the image I would like to attach.
Is the "https" the problem?
or is it " If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board"?
How can I find out if the administrator has allowed me to attach?
Probably a legally matter?
Is there a legally difference, if the picture is shown on the board or just its URL?

I have found that links to http work, links to https do not.

Thank you guys.
That's what I thought above

Maybe I misdiagnosed this fault. I cannot link images on GitHub (https). Linking from my own http webspace works. Here is an image from GitHub:
Nope. Nothing doing.
Here is one from my webspace:
Maybe the problem is nothing to do with https. Both URL's work in Firefox...

To link from github, you need to link to the raw image (i.e. right click on the Download button and copy that link)
Linking from https seems to work

Peter, Your http link didn't show up for me in Chrome, but it did show up in firefox and safari.
The https links show up in all 3 browsers.

Ah, thanks for the tip about GitHub.
I think I read something about Chrome terminally disapproving of http? Does it see http://hinch.me.uk? Firefox shows an "insecure" indicator but otherwise displays the page.
I only use the webspace for sharing odds and ends, but I guess the days of http are coming to an end.
