I don't really see an option for imgur to insert a photo into a post. I need to figure out how to do that?
The reality is that nothing is truly "free" on the internet. The imgur site is funded by advertising on-top and click-thru to still more ads to the right . . . :-)
To discourage users from embedding the true URL (uniform resource locator) of pics into BBs & blog postings etc - the imgur site is front-ended by a script that re-writes the URL you see in the browser (when viewing pics) in order to obscure the true URL to the file location on the imgur site . . . sneaky. They want you to come and read ads . . . they want your audience to come and read ads . . . ads that pay for the disk housing the pic and for the server rendering that pic out to the internet . . .
In Mozilla Firefox - one need only right click in the rendered image from the imgur site and select 'Copy Image Location'. The resulting URL is what needs to be embedded in our site's "Enter an image" post editing tool:
[img]
https://imgur.com/mp02aYi[/img] <-----apparent URL no go :-(
https://i.imgur.com/mp02aYi.jpg <------true URL
I would still get in the habit of including the apparent URL below your photos. At some point the imgur guys may figure out a way of preventing users from discovering the true URL or they may begin to employ a cross site block like photobucket - who now charges for cross site hosting use.
