I have noticed that you can post jpg pictures on the forum (within the galley etc...). I have a Flickr account that I tried that on, where I cut the URl and pasted it in the post box. Unfortunately, it didnt turn out to be a link unless you cut and pasted the section. I would like to make a link to the picture. Can anyone explain to me how to do that?

Thanks, JulieAnne

copy-paste the link into your post and then preview the post. The ... tag will show up in the edit screen. Then change the 'url' to 'img'. There may be an easier way, but I don't know what it would be.

Make sure you're using the correct URL too...if you just right-click and copy the image location from the the main page, it tends to add things to the end which prevent the pic from showing, even when tagged correctly. Like this:



It should end at .jpg to work.

Click the button to quote my post and look at the way the image URLs are tagged.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Ann, is there a way to copy the flickr link as an img rather that a url?

Huh?

Oh, wait, no, not for BBCode...they only give you HTML or the direct URL (on the 'All Sizes' page). Bit of an oversight, if you ask me.
