    I checked the guide but I can't seem to get it right. The guide told me to do
    ![]() formatting (minus the ! mark), with the link of the picture. I tried using the link with the .png format I think I'm supposed to, posted here https://i.imgur.com/VAFhHEB.png and in this format-
    ![You](https://i.imgur.com/VAFhHEB.png)
    But it instead keeps turning into a link rather than a picture.

    The link actually looks right - Imgur uses i.imgur.com for its files, if I recall correctly. This particular link appears to redirect to the page and not the image, which is very strange, but I can't see an issue with it.

    This is most likely the problem. []() is for links, ![]() is for images.

    You could also try removing the text between the [], especially if you're using RTE. For some reason RTE has trouble with handling the text in the [], and regardless, it doesn't matter as that text can just be added below the image.

    Oh, I had assumed that the ! mark was in the guide to make it so it wasn't an image, I'll try that.

    Escaping Markdown syntax characters is done with backslashes \
    It's also possible to use Markdown to show code without escaping. On the site, these code sections are shown in red.
