Please help an image on MFC profile posting newb!

I had no problem posting a video on an MFC profile, using the provided code from YouTube, but I'm having a helluva time figuring out how to post Imgur-hosted images.

Imgur provides the following options, and none of them work:

Code:

Direct link:
http://i.imgur.com/image.jpg

Non-direct link:
http://imgur.com/image

HTML link:
<a href="http://imgur.com/image" title="Hosted by imgur.com">http://imgur.com/eF6hj</a>

HTML image:
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/image.jpg" alt="Hosted by imgur.com" />

Now I've had images appear using the latter two

So my question is, if I have an image with the URL "http://i.imgur.com/image.jpg" what code do I need to add it in a comment on a profile? Do I check or uncheck the "strip links" option? Please help before I deface another profile!

The proper code is;

Code:

<img src="X">

X is the direct URL.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried this, and it works okay, as long as the image is in my browser's cache, but then, when I clear the browser's cache, or open the page in another browser, I get

For reference, the page source for the comment looks like this:

Code:

<div class=wall_info> Posted by <a href="http://profiles.myfreecams.com/Sevrin">Sevrin</a>: January 16, 2011 </div> 
<div class=wall_body> <img src='http://i.imgur.com/eF6hj.jpg'> <span style="' '"> </span> </div>

Please note that when I posted, I just cut and pasted your code, and it contained the double quotes. I'm starting to think it's a problem with Imgur and MFC as, after doing a little googling, I've found this on another page with someone else's Imgur images too. It seems to work here...

I've post images to peoples 'walls' using the html code supplied by imageshack.

Code:

<a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://img13.imageshack.us/i/happy.jpg/'><img src='http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/2117/happy.jpg' border='0'/></a>

I suggested this in another topic, but it's best to host the image on your profile. It's why some models just have a "profile junk" image folder.

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl
