i thought maybe it wasn't working bc i was using images hosted on the wrong site (i.e. i didn't realize imgur wasn't allowed & assumed my images weren't displaying bc maybe wp blocked them by default if i used a hosting site that's not allowed) but even messing with the table width and height doesn't seem to fix it? do i have to surround images with certain text to get them to show up? sorry if i'm not explaining very well or if this is answered somewhere else and i didn't find it!

Hi, you can upload your image to gifyu, then scroll down on that page to the "imbed codes" sections and copy the image url. Then in the game textbox do insert image, and paste that link into it.

thank you, that makes more sense !!
