How do you embed pics into your posts?

FOr the love of god.. I've tried every link type on both Imgur and Imageshack and can't get pics to show up in my posts. Is this possible on this site? Or do you just have to use attachments?

You can copy-paste the image itself, or a link to an image, and it should just embed itself.

Here's me copy-pasting a screenshot I just took:

 

And a direct link to an image from Imgur:

Ok, I found this to be a huge PITA at first as well.

For Imgur, you need to go to your photos, click on the photo you want to use, then look on the right at the bunch of links.  In that list, sometimes better hidden than other times, you need to find the one that says "Direct Link."  Copy that, then at the bottom of your post, click the "other media" button, select "insert image from URL" and paste your link.  Done.

For Dropbox photos, if anyone uses it, just copy the direct link and change the end of the link from "dl=0" to "raw=1", then in your post, click "Other Media" > "Insert image from URL", copy the link and voilà.
