So I tried all the major image share sites like imagebb or imgur and I always get the message "Image cannot be loaded from the passed link".

What's up with that?
 
The embed code they provide is not an image link. Image URL links end with an image file extension (ex: .jpg / .gif / .png).

If you want to post it as an image, when you upload to Imgur, when the upload is complete, right-click the image and choose "open image in new tab" or whatever similar option exists in the browser you are using. Then switch to the image tab and copy the image URL from its address bar.

You should also be able to right-click the image and select "Copy link URL" or "copy link address" or something similar and do it without opening a new tab.

I've never had a problem before, but I tried to use Imgur this morning, and the "image cannot be posted..." message came up. I only tried it once, because I was in a hurry. IDK if it no longer works with Imgur. Guess I'll have to look further into it when I get home.

It could be something in the URL such as the filename that is causing it.

Chosen filenames and even randomly generated image names assigned by hosting companies will sometimes spell out readable words that happen to be banned here for some reason.

If the filename is causing it, you can download and then re-upload the image to Imgur and get a new filename that should let you post it.

Of course it could be something that Imgur changed that is causing it as well.
