'Host Image' is broken?

Adding a post to topic 'Fuel consumption' containing a wee picture failed. On two different machines I get the same result:
Clicking 'Host an image' above/left to the editor window gets me nothing but an empty white rectangle.

Configs tried:
A: Debian7/64 + IceWeasel (Firefox rebranded)
B: Win7/64 + IE10

Everything else works as usual. Does anyone else have this anomaly?

It's doing the same for me although I never use that button to be honest.
As a workaround for now copy the IMG link from your photo host or manually type the link as such:
[ IMG]https://www.google.com/test.jpg[/IMG]
Remove the space in the first IMG tag, I had to put that in so the site would not process the code!

Thing is - my photo host is Google+, and sharing to someone outside their universe seems hard. Let me try anyway:

Let me know if you see a picture when clicking the link. I suspect not...

It comes up as a broken link on google's page, it seems it's a bit of a fiddle to link to photos with Google+ but it is possible.

Have a read here, I think it has what you need.

Hmm... Actually, link tells a story about how it doesn't work - Google has a bad habit of changing things on the fly, taking away and putting in stuff without telling anyone. Tried figuring out how to put specific photos in a public album and link to that, but failed. Got no time atm - at work. Remember once it was possible to email a link - and the link would work on a forum like this. Can't find the functionality anymore.

At imghost.us, I've tried uploading the image. How does this work:
Fuel economy

That works, and if you enclose it in IMG tags it will show directly
If you quote my reply you'll see the code in square brackets.

D'oh...

IMG tags. Check.
