I use Imgur exclusively........

Start an Image folder there, then click on the photo you want to post.......a widow will pop-up, pick BBCode and copy.....do not close that window.......go to your post link here at RTH and click paste.........the BBcode should show up in your post..........don't worry about any of the RTH App's.........your photo will show up once you've closed and re-opened your RTH link........it's just that easy....!

Hi Michelle, you may have solved this already but the reason this didn't work is the URL of your linked photo must have a .jpg extension at the end. What you have above is an invalid photo link.

If Michelle follows the suggestion I posted, it will work on both the cell phone and PC........no need to work around the RTH image installs. Images may need to be re-sized, that can be done through Imgur or applied on the device the Image origination is stored..........even works for Mac and IPhone applications.......Just an experienced tip offered here.

The only thing that bothers me about Imgur is their strict TOS against hot linking to photos on their site. I know a lot of people on a lot of sites do it anyway - Reddit for instance gets a lot of links from Imgur. If Imgur ever decides to get serious about it they could break every hot linked photo on this or any other site they want.
