First you need the image url copied, and then you select the third icon from the right just above the text message box, to insert image from url, or, if the gif is already saved on your computer, select the file from whatever folder it is in. If it is direct from a url, make sure to click off the Retrieve remote file and reference locally. Some people are not able to post images at all, though. It may depend on the device you are using...

Okay, that sounds like how PMs are all the time, except in a PM you do not have to click off the remote file thingy, cuz it just ain't there. If you can use files from the web, make sure they are from a source that will not swap out the file or delete it after a few days if at all possible. For instance, media cache files seem pretty dependable. Other sources may not post an image at all, or the image will disappear or be changed to something else. I am pretty sure I have seen this happen here more than once. In the case of swapping out files, you may post an image that is quite copacetic and suddenly it is not any more.
Or, you could take an image from your computer and upload it to an image hosting site, and then grab the code provided from there. Make sure to use only the direct link code, and not anything with a link back to the host site. There are lots of free image hosters these days. imagur, tinypic... I like https://postimage.io/

It might take all of thirty seconds, sure Sometimes when I want to post an image, I will spend many minutes looking for something on the web to match my idea, and then I might find something I like but think needs tweaking, so I will open it in an image editing program to adjust a combination of the color, hue, saturation, density, contrast, etc... I might add a border and text and posterize it a bit, then save it to my computer and then finally post it. It can take up to a half hour
