Can someone please help😭. I made a manip for the first time in a solid decade, but when I made the graphic auction, I can't get the picture to show up. I've tried to host the photo on both deviantart and Flickr and I can't get the URL from either of those to work. What am I doing wrong?😭

Try using Imgur and uploading there. You need to copy the direct link to that photo. Then when you go to the graphic auction make sure you hit graphic and use the url to the photo and just paste it. Make sure you wait for the "upload complete" that pops up with Imgur otherwise it'll be a blank screen. 

This link, right?

 I'm so mad I can't figure this out. At this point, I don't think I even care about actually selling a graphic; I just want to be able to post it right ='(

You'll need the link which ends in .jpg or .png :)

I usually right click on the image click on Copy Image Address.

Right clicking over the image and "open image in new window" and copying that URL works too.

The reason why the URL Imgur and other image sites these days gives you doesn't work, is that their URL directs you to a web page and not directly to an image. This is so that when you "share" the image they can put ads on that web page and make money from it. They don't really like people getting the actual image URL because then it bypasses their ad revenue. 

What Kiyoko said. When I started back up with graphics this had me messed up too. Like she said though if you right click and open the image in a new tab then copy the link url from that it should work when you use it for the auctions. It always has for me anyways!
