Doesn’t work for me either… 🙁 I’m not seeing any pictures.
To embed a photo, you must use a link that points to a .jpg file. None of the links that you tried, @jamesstaddon actually point to a .jpg file, they’re all dynamic URLs. If I get time a little later, I’ll try to find out what the actual jpg file links are and see if I can make them work. However, like you said, you don’t get file resize options, so that’s still not an ideal solution. Plus, I like the images to be hosted on Lenspiration so that they’re more likely to work after a long period of time. I’ve seen countless Flickr/Photobucket/Google+ photos embedded in forums that had an “Error not found” symbol because someone moved the photo or deleted it, and didn’t realize that it affected their forum post.

I believe you can only alter an existing post for a short time immediately after it has been posted. There should be a little “Edit” option on the top bar of your reply. Correct me if I’m wrong!
Yep, you can edit for a short time period, and then the Edit button goes away… But that doesn’t mean that you can’t edit your post any more. 🙂 I found out a little URL trick that lets me edit it any time that I want. Not long ago I edited a post that I made several months ago, and it worked! 🙂
