I'm getting a lot of your posts empty where you should have images. Looking at the first one above, I'm guessing you're linking them straight out of gmail? They won't stick around, even if they're available at first, as they're just stored there for use in you reading your own emails...
Save 'em and upload them to GRM, or find 'em on the web in general and use those links for more better posting success...
Sorry, right from email - will stop.
It might work if in your email, you right click, copy image then in the GRM comment right click, paste.
Otherwise, this is my current favorite of your meme postings:

That one had me in stitches!
I'm so glad that someone else mentioned this. I was disabling browser extensions, trying different browsers and different computers, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why some of the images in this thread wouldn't display for me.
Pretty sure you're going to have to save and upload, rather than copy/paste. The GRM image tool's default mode is to just put the link you give it in the page. Beyond that (if you don't have a good, public link), you have to give it a local file (in that Upload tab) and point it to file from your computer. From there it will store it on GRM's server and generate a link to that copy. For links, it has to be something A) that doesn't change, and B) that everybody has access to (for example, I can't give you a link to my gmail inbox, because you can't authenticate as me. Which is a good thing. The inability to see links Google generates for your email is related.)
Some stuff may be temporarily viewable, but the bonus hilarity here is that Dr. Hess can probably still see what he's quoting because his browser stored a local copy when he viewed it the first time. Meanwhile, this is what those of us who didn't look at it before Google moved the image see:

No, I showed EXACTLY what my favorite Dan Meme was. Here it is again:
It's a little box with a little paper like symbol in it, maybe broken? Really funny. My favorite Dan Meme. And, I got it there by copying it to my clipboard, pasting it in the comment section. It gets loaded up by the web software to Teh Amazonas Cloud. Right click on an image and look at the properties.
Like this one:
Where does he find these? Hilarious.
In reply to Dr. Hess :
Well, heck.
On Chrome/Win10 there's no option to paste into the comment box, and I guess I mis-extrapolated there. I have to explicitly upload.
Whatever platform Dan's on isn't automating things in a way that works for him all the time, and I suspect our conversation hasn't made things simpler/clearer. Maybe he can copy/paste, but pasting the links he's got is definitely a no-go. If image copy/paste doesn't work for him like it does for you, he'll have to use the upload tab for images out of his mail.
I use Firefox. He owes me a new keyboard for this one:
Ok. Glad I can get coffee shooting out of you nose, but I don't get it, see it.
...or is that the point?
This classic just before Christmas was pretty good too:
In reply to 914Driver :
Yes, I think that's his point. I thought he was quoting actual images of yours he found amusing, but he was actually quoting the "broken image" placeholder the browser shows. There may be other ways to get images to work, but the simplest way to put it is that if you can grab an image URL off a web page that anybody can see, you can just post it as usual, but if you get an image in your email, you should save it and use the upload tab of the image tool.
