Save it on your computer and upload it that way, or right click the image and click "copy image url". (you can do that on Internet Explorer and Google chrome, I don't know about other browsers)

Ok, you can't, I thought you could. I don't mean copy the picture, I mean copy the URL (address) of the picture. What browser do you use?

There's a set of instructions for how to do this just above your topic. Your image is too large and you're also not linking to an image file directly (your link should end in a filetype extension, in your case, ".gif").
