OneDrive users, how do I embed an image?

OneDrive used to have a handy embed option that generated a forum friendly link that worked with STW's img tags.

It seems to have been replaced with a permission based 'share' option that doesn't work with the forum.

Can I still embed OneDrive images here?

It needs to be hosted somewhere - only full members can upload images directly.

This is my go-to for image hosting - dead easy to use...

Yes, it's hosted on OneDrive, which used to have an embed option which would generate a link allowing the image to be embedded in STW.

This option has changed to some sort of permission based 'share' (it allows editing privileges') that no longer work within STW's img tags.

I was wondering whether anyone had a way of embedding images hosted on the new style OneDrive.

Short answer is that there isn't as Microsoft are ramping up security and soon you'll need 2FA to access your files. This is not conducive to hosting publicly accessible files.

Postimages or Imgur are probably your best options. (Posts on Imgur can be made forum accessible but not appear in the timeline there).
