"Hey, isn't this the guy that who made those stuffty faces?"

OK, so you know how in comments on topics people have pictures on their comments? How do you do that? I know there's an option for it while making a comment but I don't know how to do it. Like I pull up a link on imgur, and it doesn't work. What am I supposed to do?

get direct link to image, in which case i'll be using this image to test: https://web.stanford.edu/dept/CTL/cgi-bin/academicskillscoaching/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/baby-duck.jpg
put link between image tags: [img]https://web.stanford.edu/dept/CTL/cgi-bin/academicskillscoaching/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/baby-duck.jpg[/img]
it should show up as:


to specify height/width (both are optional)
[img width=200 height=250]https://web.stanford.edu/dept/CTL/cgi-bin/academicskillscoaching/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/baby-duck.jpg[/img]
shows up as:

OK, I did what you did and I got nothing as you can see.

note the lack of .png or .jpg or any image extension at the end of your link
it's not a direct link to the image
going to https://imgur.com/9eUEz12 brings me to a web page that is not just a single image
right clicking the main image on the page, I can see the source of it is https://i.imgur.com/9eUEz12.jpg
that's the direct link, and if I put it in image tags..
