    At risk of confusing people more, it can help (when making or editing a post) to click on the very last button (a "Show source" tool-tip will appear).

    That will show the actual HTML of the post. If you look at yours Kat, you'll see the URL (address thingy) seems to have the end missing. It should usually end in ".jpg".

    Clicking on that same (last) button again will flip it back in to the std mode. You can edit your post in either mode.

    Kat - I use a MacBook Pro with Flickr so I'll try a give a you a step by step guide when I get home. On the train with the iPad so difficult to visualise the sequence. Just a quick one - how do you access the Flickr image? You need to click on it then you get a right click option to copy in different sizes - I choose medium then right click and copy Photo URL I think. I'll explain later when home.

    Trouble is, Flickr have just changed how you do this. You used to click on the picture so it was the only thing on the screen, right click and then hit copy picture location or URL whatever it said. You can no longer do this and the process is different. Still click on the picture you want, so it is the only thing displayed on the screen and then bottom right of the screen is a button which comes up 'share'. Once you click this, a box is displayed with the link in it (the pictures URL as others have stated). You copy this and then paste into the add picture box in your post, remembering to remove the 'http// that is in already before you right click and then paste in the box. Then hit 'submit' and it should instantly appear in your box ready for you to post.
    Flickr have not made this easy so try again and if necessary, we will do this step by step.

    Ok. tried for 30 minutes trying to post the above on an IPad and failed miserably. Sure I have done this before but no go tonight.
    On a PC, go to your Flickr photostream and click on the photo you want to use once, so it is the only picture on the screen.  On the right appears a long black box with various options of what to do in it, one of which is three little circles near the right edge.  Click this and a list of further options appears, one of which is 'download all sizes'.  Click this and more boxes appear.  Next to a blue rectangle with 'download' in it is 'view all sizes'. Click this and the available picture sizes pop up. I always select medium for the board, so click this and another version of the photo pops up.  Right click on the photo and yet more options pop up, one of which is 'copy image location'.  Click this and we are done with Flickr.
    Go to the board and in the empty post box, type whatever you want to say and then click the 'post image' box on the top ribbon (looks like a TV screen).  Highlight and delete the 'http://' which is already in there and then right click in the box and then paste.  In goes the photo link from Flickr. Click submit and then voila, your photo should appear.

    Flickr say this is not the way to do it and you should use the 'Share' button and use the 'image location' info.  If you do it this way, bugger all happens except an empty rectangular box in your post so Flickr talk shite really.

    So there you have it Kat.  How to do it with a PC or a Mac. Kinky.
    A dog dressed as Yoda and doughnuts that look like chesseburgers.  You couldn't make it up.
    Doughnuts.  M'mm!

    This is how photobucket works currently.

    There is no evidence that English is more difficult to learn than any other language. .
