    As Urbs* says, it will work fine with pictures on flickr. Also facebook, twitter instagram etc. (I have my own domain/webspace to which I can upload any pics, but I'm aware many won't have that)

    * or is UT the abbrev of preference?

    I tried from Dropbox and it did not work. Mind you, that was in the bad old I.E. days.
    I will let Igor out of his cupboard Kat R and conduct some experiments on your behalf.

    Kat, keep in mind that the silly little box that you have to copy your URL into already has the "http" beginning of an address in it.  If you don't remove it, or copy over it, or something, it will never work.

    Also, maybe worth noting that Photobucket works fine, though it may be a little tricky until you learn the ropes.  The only tricky part, to me, is figuring out how to get the correct url to copy.  But, once understood, it's simple as bananas.

    Does anyone post pics from an iPad or iPhone? I use Flickr and it works fine and it's worth remembering that you can upload to Flickr without publishing to all and sundry.

    Such confidence, Kat!  Just remember, if you pound your head on it long enough, it just hurts.

    Errr, I assume you mean "insert image" box.  Are you sure you cleared the "http://" that is already in the box before you pasted into the box?  I'm afraid I don't know flickr, so I can't really help if the problem is there.

    I tried Flickr and it didn't work.  I just tried copying the URL in the address box at the top of the page.  That doesn't work anywhere I've tried, including photobucket.  With photobucket, when you bring up an individual picture, there is a little box to the right of the image with things like "direct address".  If you click over the address (when the hand is showing), it will flash "copied" and you, then, have the URL you need.  They really don't make it easy, do they?

    Whickwithy- I appreciate your help, or trying to help. I'm glad you've at least confirmed that it isn't just me ( else I might have to add a sister thread to the Conspiracy Stories one- Is It Just Me? )
    To make matters worse, I'm so tired I've just rests bed the toe that I broke a few weeks ago.! As Kenny Williams said - " Infamy infamy- they've all got it In For Me!" ( OUCHHH!!).
    Feeling v sorry for myself and going to crawl under a stone now. Snivel...
