Google may be blocking external links to images they host on thier servers.

Lot of sites do this because it uses up their bandwidth.

They have a check system that looks at who/what is requesting the image, and if it's not their own servers, they block it.

To get around this, use right-click and save it to your computer, then use the Full Editor to add the image to your post.

Cheers,
Shaun :biggrin:
