Right click on the image and select "properties". Then copy and paste the address listed as "location".

Depending on your browser, another way to do it is right click on the image and select "view image". That should bring up a web page with nothing but the image on it. Then you can just copy the web address over into your post.

If you want to embed a pic in you post, highlight the entire link and then click on the little button above where you type your post that is labeled "Img".


For an example of how it looks click "quote" on my post and you can see how I posted the following image:

In general, you copy the location of the image (e.g. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1284/121 ... 76d81b.jpg) and click the 'Img' button to enclose it in 'img' tags (or just type the tags by hand), as follows:

Code: Select all

[img]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1284/1213342042_646976d81b.jpg[/img]

And the result is:


However from Flickr in particular it's not easy at all; looks like they've changed how they're showing the images to prevent hot-linking...

Taking the page that hosts the above image as an example, the HTML that renders the image is as follows:

Code: Select all

<div class="photoImgDiv" style="width: 337px;" id="photoImgDiv1213342042">

    <img width="335" height="500" class="reflect" onload="show_notes_initially();" title="" alt="Orchid Photo by graphicgreg." src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1284/1213342042_646976d81b.jpg"/>

    <img width="335" height="500" alt="" src="http://l.yimg.com/g/images/spaceball.gif" style="position: relative; top: -502px; margin-bottom: -502px; display: block;"/>

</div>

I.e. they overlay the image with a transparent GIF so that when you right-click you get the GIF, not the image... So getting the location is not nearly as straightforward as right-clicking on the image.

If you're not familiar with HTML, just post a link -- people can click, you know.
Or if you MUST have an image embedded, post a link to the page/source and ask someone's help, -- I'm sure someone here (in case I don't see it first or don't have the time at the moment) will help you.

thanks, it seemed to have worked...

Forget Flikr.

Only the paid service is worth a damn. The google photos thing is free and doesn't get in the way of hot linking. Combine it with Picasa and you have a super convenient uploaded built in to a a very nice pared down photo editing and organizing suite. I have photoshop but I almost never use it because it's so bulky compared to Picasa which does everything I need 90% of the time.

photobucket.com is the place you wanna put images.

fuck picassa, fuck flicker. photobucket will even GIVE you the code to copy and paste.

so easy, a small lizard blowing a caveman wearing an arrow shirt could do it!
