I forgot how to post photos

[calicotraveler]

It's been a long time since I've posted a photo. Now I don't know how to do it. What I've tried is clicking on the "Img" above the post and then pasting the http image url (from flicker) between the [img]s that appear. However all I get is a red X instead of my picture posting. What am I doing wrong?

Its a flickr thing. You have to select your image in flickr then above it you'll see the Share Tab then use the Grab the HTML/BBCode option.

Ok I tried that and still do not get my picture. What am I doing wrong?

It should work fine without using the Img tag for posting to the Forum. I just tried it and worked. Using my above steps just copy and paste directly to the forum.

Here's a sample as how it'll look just pasted to a thread. Notice the image name links back to flickr.

You got it! flickr seems to wanna make sure viewers know where the image is being hosted at.
