6. Now after the image is published on IMGUR you will see links to that image on the right hand side, pick the second yellow highlighted link like in the image above.
7. Copy that link however make sure to remove the last v from the link, so this link http://i.imgur.com/HB4iiCX.gifv will become http://i.imgur.com/HB4iiCX.gif
