Being trying to post a photo from my Flickr photostream and have had no success.

Using the 'IMG' tab to hive the [IMG] prefix and [/IMG] suffix , I've pasted the URL between. Still get the '?' icon rather than the photo.

I've been getting the URL by right clicking the photo. I've also Used the grab link or Grab HTML/bbcode options but with no luck.

Posted plenty of photos in the past without probs (although first time from iPad)

Am I being stupid?

Use just the BBcode from flickr, no need to add the [img] tags, they're already there

Here you go boltonjon

the code is - [img ]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7007/6584858355_e9fcde859c_m.jpg[/img] - without the gap after the first 'img'
