OK. Using your pics as linked above in your post, here's how to make 'em appear on the forum directly.

Click on the link. https://ibb.co/5kPrNpv for example. One option is to right click the link and choose "Open image in new tab" or whatever your browser's equivalent is.

Now, right click the image and choose "Copy image address"

Next, open a new message, or reply to one, and choose "image" from the right side of the text box. This opens a popup that inquires as to the URL of the image. Paste the URL you just copied into that box and click "OK". Make sure that there's only ONE http:// etc in the dialog box before you click OK. You now have the code in the text editing box. You can click "Preview" to make sure it's coming out the way you like it before you go ahead and click "OK-Submit".

Just for grins I chose "Thumbnail Left" from the image dialog. The twins have definitely gone and grown up. Using "Thumbnail" gives a preview of the image and the option to click on it and enlarge the view if desired.
