How do u add a working link like the picture below?

 

It used to work from pasting the url, but now it does not.

you mean like this?

[stubuzz]

Yes

Just paste the link. It works for me. Make sure it is on a line by itself. If you paste the link into your post as you are editing it, wait a few seconds and it will change to that media box in the editor.

To share a topic or post you do this.

First click the 3 dots in the top right corner and click share.

 

Then highlight the link and click copy.

 

Then paste in the link.

I just tried that twice. It still didn't change to an "image" link, it just stayed as a plain old URL.

 

Does it need to be done on a PC? I am trying to do it using an Android device.

All you will get is a URL for the topic or post.

If you want to get the link for a image you do a right click on your mouse with the pointer on it. And when on a mobile browser you just need touch the image and you get a popup menu to do it (just checked on my Android tablet).

Not sure, but I think we're referring to slightly different things. I wasn't meaning a link to an image, I meant a link to another forum post that appears as an image of the post, as opposed to a link that is simply the text of the URL.

 

I often see links like this in other people's posts that are not merely a text link, they appear as an image - there are some in this thread.

If you post a link to a topic with an image in it the image will appear in the post you pasted it into.

For example this I copied a topic link and pasted it in.

That one did show the image. Not sure why it didn't
