Looks like you only copied part of the string. The tags on a forum are like HTML for a web page. When you click on the add an image on the forum it does the same thing as PostImg does, it adds this around the URL:
[IMG][/IMG]
Your URL just goes in between the two tags. The tags just tell the AO site there is an image here and to display the URL in between the tags:
[IMG]PUT URL HERE[/IMG]
[IMG]http;//somewebsite/image/32234.jpg[/IMG]
^^ As an example. If there is any other text, like PostImg adds, it is just fluff that is not needed.
So if you go back to PostImg, click on share, and just copy the "Direct Link" that is the URL you need. In the pic I'm sharing it is:
https://s25.postimg.org/p91gtcsmn/IMG_0330.jpg
Then cut and paste that in between the two tags above or just type the [IMG] [/IMG] around it like so
The important part being that it must start with [IMG] and end with [/IMG].
