I used to insert images in some of my posts but it has become impossible a few days ago. I use my own domain to store the images and try to insert a link, but the URL field turns pink and my image is not accepted. I respect the format (jpg or png), respect the size and resolution limits, so why does this happen?

Thanks for any help.

Use the link at the top of the the page not the "insert image from URL" 🙂

You can simply paste the image url into this type of forum.

Here is an example: https://i.postimg.cc/rwLGd3b8/Untitled.jpg

which if allowed to embed is

Here is an http link http://i.postimg.cc/rwLGd3b8/Untitled.jpg

which also works:

When I paste a URL into the insert image box - the box turns red.  

This is an image on my public Yahoo file space from which I have posted dozens of pictures here in the past.  The process is simple and worked fine for images in my public folder as recently as mid-September.  Now - I can find no way to paste or insert an image into a one of my topics I started here.  I am pretty good with this stuff and am stumped.

???

I just tried to insert an image, which I successfully inserted into another topic here in mid-September.  I copied the URL from the image which was successful in September and pasted into the Insert Image box and it turned RED - but the URL was identical to the one in the successful insert (split screen to compare the two URLs)

Something is not working for me
