I am trying to add photos in a message thread--and I can't seem to do it.  I would be glad to post pictures of what happens...but I can't!  But here's what I've tried:

1.  Click the little "insert/edit image" icon.

2. Put the path to the picture that I'm trying to post in the "source" box.

3. Put label for the picture in the "image description" box

4. Press enter

Every time, I get this:

I feel like I have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this works.  Can someone help me or point me to a resource that could help me?  Thank you.

Let me try this:

I think the image needs to be on the Internet, not on your laptop.  You may need to upload it to an image hosting site, then paste the URL in the source box.

You have to make sure the image path is a URL, say from imgur, and includes the file type (.png or .jpeg for example) at the end.

For example, if I wanted to embed the image found here: https://imgur.com/nspurSD

I would copy the image address and add .jpg: https://imgur.com/nspurSD.jpg

Then put that in the Source for the embed image

 Thank you!  That fixed it (adding .jpg).  I appreciate the help!

I'm currently trying to embed this image...

...into a post on Dndbeyond. I've tried adding the file type (.jpg) on the end, but when I do, it looks like this:

But of course, if you click that link, it takes you to an actual image that absolutely is available. Help?

I fixed this by doing the following

1. I went to the gallery you linked to
2. Clicked ... in the top right
3. Selected copy link (https://imgur.com/tMKw61g)
4. Put that into the image properties
5. Added .jpg at the end

You had linked not the the image, but the gallery the image was in

Also please be conscious of the appropriateness of the content you post on the forums, both in terms of content and spoilers.

Nice quote from Tasha. Being murdered by spells is one of my hard limits.

Thanks for the info.
