I now this is basic stuff but I always struggle

Been trying to attach an image in a post using flickr

I click on image icon then copy URL of image

Once I post it does not show up....any advice at all?

I've never used flickr (I'm a photobucket fellow), but it sounds like you're doing the right thing.

paste the link into the dialogue box that appears after clicking the little yellow picture icon.

Consider having a quick browse through this thread too - Sorry, I've no idea how to use Flikr either.

In Flickr, if you click on the Share icon (the arrow in the rectangle), you'll find an option "Grab the BB/HTML code".

Change the option to BB code and it will give you all you need to copy and paste straight into a post here.

It will look like this

[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/numbers/][img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/numbers[/img][/url]
[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/numbers/]Untitled[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/numbers/]paulbot[/url], on Flickr

In the string of codes that you copy pasted there are the big letters IMG before [url\] and the another big IMG after the 2nd [url\] - get rid (delete) of those before you post the pics. if you notice there's already a smaller img -2 actually - that is within the url. keep those.

Basically what your code will look when copy pasted is

IMG [url] img blah blah blah blah img [url] IMG

so delete the two outer most IMG, then look at your message in Preview message to be sure you didn't delete more than the 2 large IMG letters.
That should get rid of it and leave just the picture.

hope this helps
