Tutorial: Posting Instagram pictures on India Forums~

Step 5: Share!

Extra: Skipping IMGUR ...
I'm sure there is someone here who is going to be all like "Why do I need to go through imgur", and for them, here is the extra part:
YMMV with adding IMG tags around the direct instagram image link or the DownloadGram link (For example, here are the two links. The first one is from DownloadGram, the second is from the addon):

Immediately off the bat, we can't have ?dl=1 in the first link since images must end in an image format (in this case .jpg), so we would have to remove ?dl=1 before putting the IMG tag in.
If I add tags around this:
[ IMG]https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p750x750/17662425_210236952794448_4795916879652716544_n.jpg[ /IMG]
[ IMG]https://instagram.fsan1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/15877310_563200453870490_9168164875124342784_n.jpg[/ IMG]
This is what it would look like assuming this link doesn't have four of the same characters next to each other. Notice, I removed the ?dl=1 from the first link.
So the final test:
It works only because there aren't more than 4 of the same repeating characters. Imgur is an extra step, but it's a recommended one since these image urls are long. It's also nicer to have a backup.
