Both of your attempts are to an image which is 403. That’s an error. (Permission error). Meaning that you have to be logged in or something to view the image.
You might have better success following:
https://sleep.tnet.com/reference/tips/imgur
In this case, you are just going to upload the image you are trying to upload.

protip: don't resize the screenshots before posting... just pick 'large thumbnail' from imgur, and let it resize them, that leaves the full size image to click through to if more detail is desired.
how do you feel after that night?

Looks good, posted image and what it shows. I've never had a low reading like that, typically in the 2-3 range. Best ever was a 0.50 a couple nights ago.

Okay, I'll try that. I feel a little sleepy, but not fatigued.

Saturday night:
The last time you used your ResMed AutoSet...
was last night (on Saturday, May 02, 2015)
You had an AHI of 2.60, which is considered reasonably good
You machine was on for 7 hours, 19 minutes and 5 seconds.
You had a small but acceptable amount of major mask leakage.
Your pressure was under 14.62cmH2O for 95% of the time.
I had an itch on my nose; several times I took the mask off with the machine running. Could this be the "major mask leaks"?

Yes. They are usually seen as very brief and very large spikes in the leak graph.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

I see at least 4 breaks in therapy last night. Is this something that is common for you? How many other awake times do you usually have? Do you often have trouble getting to sleep and/or staying asleep?
Here's a little hint for using imgur and large images.
If you will click on "large thumbnail" first and then copy that last line in the address boxes you will get an image that is a little easier to see and won't be quite so large and we might not have to click on it to see what we need to see.
Another hint about using SleepyHead...you can resize the graphs so that you can get more than 3 graphs on an image.
Just hover the mouse cursor along the bottom of a graph until you see a little short double line..then click and drag to resize. SleepyHead will remember the change.
Usually we can get 4 to 5 graphs on one screen shot and not have the graphs so small we can't evaluate them.
Any more than 5 and they get too small and most of those other graphs aren't really needed anyway.
In your situation the Flow limitation graph might be something I would want to see at least once.
So these graphs on the right side.
Events
Flow Rate
Pressure
Leak
and Flow limitation (ResMed machines only) if it shows much activity.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

I, and a number of others, have found that nose hairs getting blown around by the air in the mask makes it feel like there's an itch somewhere ON the nose, never 'in' it, where you'd expect the itch to feel, but I've found a 100% correlation between "itchy nose, every night, > trim nose hair, no itchy nose for weeks"

You are getting better about posting your shot. I just want to give you a few more tips to make your screenshot more useful for people to help.
The graphs that are helpful are:
!. Event Flags
2. Flow Rate
3.Pressure (not mask pressure)
4. Leak
5. Flow Limit
Put your graph in that order by grabbing, by the labels, with your mouse and dragging it where you want it.
Now grab the line between the graphs and resize them until you get them in one screenshot.
Also you can push F11 on your keyboard before you take your screenshot and it make it full screen.

I had some trouble last night, but I was doing a lot of reading. I stayed up until daylight and only slept about five hours. Sometimes I do have trouble.
