I'm used to a lot of other forum software, where at the minimum, you can upload photos to a "gallery" and then link to them in a post.

The editor here seems like a "quick editor" mode. Is there a full editor that has all the formatting and picture insert functions, or is this it?

I've looked at the BBCode Help and the only thing I saw for images was linking to an image on another server. So I did that, but the image appears as a "broken link". I uploaded an image to my Dropbox and copied and pasted the link here with the [img] tags.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

You should have posted this on the support board... but anyways.

MAL is worse than most forums online, we can just get used to it or not use the forums.

MAL has a limit of 5/10 mb or something like that for images, if the image doesn't match their criteria the image won't load.

Whatever the above user said is true but I'm pretty sure you're just not using the direct link to the image, could you post the bbcode here? @basspig
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

This was the piece of code I was trying to use to load the image from my Dropbox account, since I couldn't find a way to upload an image here, but it's not working.

what the user Iizy said is correct, you are using the wrong image url

This is how you paste an image when you upload it to Imgur

Thank you. That was VERY helpful. The video guided me to finding the hidden ... menu that I'd missed when I first tried to copy the URL from imgur.

Success!
