Related: About this forumHelp! Pasting correct image URL into my posts, but the image is not showing up.
I'm copying the URL directly from the online image and pasting it into the post.
Has something changed about how to do this?

There's an ampersand in the URL; could that be the problem?

I put a line break after "images/" so that you can see the URL.

Sometimes I've been able to substitute another character -- only w/apostrophes, carats, commas or single quotes is the text even visible, but then it doesn't link. It's not a hyphen, ndash, mdash, or minus sign!
Note that the first hyphen is fine -- so what's the second hyphen ??

(11,848 posts)The kind of security certificates required to avoid such warnings are expensive, with the result that a whole lot of perfectly harmless sites are labelled as security risks.
I almost always blow past those warnings and have never yet experienced any security problem by doing so. It seems mainly like another way for big corps. funnel traffic toward their own sites away from smaller players.
