We don't need links to the image. Attach the image directly to a message, after trimming it to below 128KB. The newness of your account doesn't stop you attaching files directly.

You don't mention the host OS. If it's Windows then you need to type the complete path to VBoxManage. Or you can use the batch file I wrote about a couple of years back: Windows Hosts: Run VBoxManage without having to type the program path.
