I keep getting an error message when I try to include an image in a post (using 'Insert Image' button, tried both adding directly and via URL with no luck.) Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for the reply! I've tried both and keep getting this error message:Inserting an image using the "Attach files" button needs to have your image source as a file on your hard drive. If you want to post from a URL, you need to use the "Insert Inage" icon to the right of the link icon or <Ctl + P>.
Nope, it's not. Klick on the blue words in my previous post (this is the link) and you'll see it....I hope.Is that picture set to private on Imgur? Check your accessibility settings there.

I don't know about the latter. Here is another try from the same Imgur collection:Oh, I saw your pic by doing exactly that, and who doesn't like a B-25?
I was wondering if your hosting site has settings that bar external sharing as a default, and require you to change it. Hopefully it's something that simple.

I had the same problem yesterday in the B-25 weapons thread.
1. I Inserted a photo from the internet, using the image link and the icon "Insert image":

2. Tried to insert a photo from my Imgur-collection in the same way.
.....MY PHOTO HAD TO BE HERE....
I could insert the photo and I see it on the screen. I see it in the "preview" as well. I'll try to post this as a reply.
I got the Oops-message. I believe it's the second picture, from Imgur causing the problem. Why? No idea.
3. I'll try to insert it manually this time:
.....MY PHOTO HAD TO BE HERE....
I can't see the image, but only the link of it between img....../img
Let's try it again.
The Oops message shows again.
4. I reduced the size of the photo in Imgur to 800dpi length
.....MY PHOTO HAD TO BE HERE....
I see it in the preview. Let's try to post a reply again.
Oops-message again.
I give up.
By the way, this is the picture I'm trying to insert and The Program gives me an Oops.
Cheers!
It looks like there is a problem with eirther with links and the way these are shared or image forms. Your profile of the P-51 caused a trouble with uploading. I have download it and tried to upload to your thread directly from my HDD and getting the error message, But when I have re-saved it with the Irfanview and then uploaded it again to the thread it was done with a success. Check your thread please. BTW ... I have checked it with other your profiles from your site. All of them caused the same error while trying to attach here.
The same with the pic.

Here shots just attached from two random web sites with the links between the IMG tags. No problem with that. So both the requested pics are the reason for the error message and the issue should be searched for on the source sites rather.

Marcel, thank you for going deep down into this problem!Okay seems I found it. Your image is using an obscure colour format that the forum is not expecting. It uses BenQ GW2760 instead of the standard RGB and the forum doesn't seem to accept that. Loading it into Gimp, converting the profile to RGB and saving seems to remedy that.
