    That's what happens when I use the 'add image button'. I will try adding manually.

    Actually, you are missing the extension of the image (.png).
    Please post the full link of the image from imgur.
    So, after you upload the image to imgur, click on the drop-down arrow, then "Get share links" and copy the BBCode.

    Got it, I didn’t copy the link from the BBCode option.
