How do I get an IMGUR image to show on these boards?

Imgur dosen't provide a direkt link to the file. ... a link with an .jpg at the end
 the trick is to right-click on your image when its uploaded to Imgur, chose open image in a new tab from your browser , and copy the html-link from the browser line of the news window

then you can insert the link here in the picture function when you write the post

There's a row of buttons next to your uploaded image JD and one says share on boards or forums and gives you a link to copy here

I don't see those pal. I saw some specific buttons for sharing with FB, X etc - but the only other option I remember seeing was for copying a link (which I did but it didn't work - presumably as JH pointed out).

I don't even see those options now since I moved it from HIDDEN to PUBLIC

My process is

upload an image

hover over image and get the copy link and 3 buttons top right

Click the 3 buttons and get this

Click get share links and get this

then press the copy link button for bbcode and it gives you a url to copy and paste which is exactly what ive done here

I'm still struggling with this
Admittedly I am using the imgur app on the iphone but I'm not seeing any of the options that are being listed here.
I wanted to use the iphone since otherwise I will need to go into icloud or onedrvie to find synced photos with my iphone and I would prefer to just going to the photo library

Afaik it doesn't work via phone - I tried this a month or two back and any search came up with it not been possible

Ah - probably should have researched that instead of thinking it was me
How do we rescale the image following the process above?
Thanks
