Vic, something like this would work well on "The Pizza"

I posted this as a test posting pix from 'OneDrive' where I store several thousand pix. To post the pic, open the pic in 'OneDrive' then click on the elipse (...) to the far right of the options. Click on "</> Imbed". a new window pops up to the right and explains how to create the link. Click 'Continue' and a box will appear with a very long address. Right click inside the box and copy. When posting to this site do not click on any of the icons we have used in the past. Just right click and paste.

That last line should read: Just right click inside the text box and paste.

Tom,

I tried this, both with and without checking the "Include HTML tags" box.  No joy.  To be clear, I should just paste the link here amidst my words, right?  I don't have to paste it in the "hyperlink" button (the thing that looks like a paperclip) or the "picture" button (the one with a mountain range looking thing and a dot all in a rectangle).

Somehow, it didn't seem to work for me. I had to use the "insert/edit image" button. It seems opening it will give a viewer access to their own OneDrive, but not mine. 

 

This is why I don't own a cell phone.  I'd never figure it out...

 

Eric

Can also be done through Pintrest. Open the pic to full screen. Right click and select 'copy image address'. Then click on the 'image icon' in the tool box (the one that looks like a picture of the moon over mountains. and paste the image address in the source box.

This works for me. Operating system: Windows 10. Browser: Google Chrome. Tried it under Internet Explorer with total failure.

OK, I went through EDGE, with the result you got in my other post.  Maybe I will try chrome next time around.  Thanks for the help troubleshooting!
