Taking the link to the first image in the OP as an example: https ://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmBsrI4Z.jpg&t=607&c=1NdT52aa5A3yJw

Extract the embedded URL (the bolded section): https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FmBsrI4Z.jpg

Convert the 'encoded' symbols using the following:
%3A => :
%2F => /

=> https://i.imgur.com/mBsrI4Z.jpg

So that's how it is, sometimes really I experience this one especially if the thread is locked and can't be quoted and just open a new tab or copy the image address of it but still goes through decoding that link and I didn't know what they mean, really helpful HCP.

I know, its also a solution to just quote the text and add a link manually but that wouldnt include the date of the quoted post and need more time to type the author, especially for multiple quotes.

Yeah, it's a hassle especially if you don't know to manually add the needed text to make it like the original quoted message, what I really do is really manual and the most hassle part is adding the date so I reach for help in this website http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm it is same as epochconverter.[/quote]
