What are you trying to do with the image? Did you try using these BBC codes?

To show it (in a forum):

Sometimes it can be tricky to use links from Imgur but you should be able to post them

You should use the direct link to the image, because the link itself is to a website, not the image, so of course it cant be shown properly (you cant display a website as an image). Try rightclicking the image and click "copy graphic address" (or whatever the english translation is). If you use that copied link with the BBCode, it should work

okay so this might be a bit to wrap your head around, but i'll try my best from how i understand it!

the images you post on imgur, the image is stored onto a link. the link has the image, it is not the image directly.
in your case, this is your link:
https://imgur.com/SMu647R

this link leads to a site which only holds your image.

in order to image bbcode, you need the link of the actual image. to do this, go to the imgur page, right click the image on pc or hold the image down on mobile, click "open image in new tab". this will open you a link, and that link is the image. you can tell because the image is the only thing on the screen (no imgur logo, and it has the word .png in the link). this is the image file link. this link will work when you use bbcode.

in your case:

and if you bbcode it:



i might have just spat out absolute nonsense, but i hope i helped a bit!
