Even more of a adventure when you disregard the speed limits because who's gonna stop you?

Links should contain *.jpg file name to be treated as an images.
Image hostings could provide such links, via "share" buttons or so.

I use Imgur.
Pick the picture to post and select,

Pick the size you want at the bottom.
In the ET forum click insert image on the tool bar.

Paste the link you copied in the first step and click on Insert Image. Enter doesn't work.
Finish your post.

If you're gonna post big pictures hit enter a few times and then put the cursor back at the top.
That'll give you room at the bottom to add stuff. You'll see.

Keep 'em coming.

Edit to add: You'll have to use jpgs, the forums don't like pngs etc.
I use ReShade for screenshots and have it set to send a jpg to a specific folder using alt-print screen.

Correct: PNGs not allowed as attachments to posts (due to large size, as attachments are stored then on ET host's server), but allowed as links (to other images hostings), enclosed into [img] tags.
In latter case, as I already told, the link to picture hosting should contain file's name with *.jpg or *.png extension at the very end to be processed as valid image.
Also, in case, image is valid, forum's software will try and resize picture to look adequate to forum page's blocks size on Your browser.
This can happen not after first attempt of page view, however.
And one more: big images, hosted on ET will be shown as thumbnails with 600px width (this will make it better for seeing on mobile devices with small display and speed-up loading of pages, containing dozens of images). You will see, this is a thumbnail, by thick black borders presence around the picture. Click on it, in case You would see full-size or save it locally.
Attachments, not inserted into post's text will be shown as thumbnails on gray background, while pictures, hotlinked from other hostings will have gray button above - showing percentage of size reduction and suggestion to click for seeing real(full) size.
So, if You have attached or hotlinked image, You can then insert it into desired location among Your post's text (between paragraphs, for instance).
