On the internet issue, sometimes you get a link like

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EbEoBdkX0As3Gas?format=jpg&name=medium

all you need to do is change the link to (and I'm putting the space before .jpg and Capital J in "media" to stop the picture replacing the fixed link)

https://pbs.twimg.com/meJdia/EbEoBdkX0As3Gas .jpg

otherwise it would appear like this

Other times, when i right click on the picture (if i am having issues copying) I click on Inspect, and find the link that way, in the Media folder.

Worst case, I use the Snip & Sketch free app to screenshot it and the host the pic.
