Thanks - what I'm struggling with is getting the correct link from flickr. It only seems to offer me the url which doesn't seem to be the right thing.....

To be honest, I have no idea how to post images from Flickr. They do make it difficult.

I use postimages.org for quickly uploading and sharing stuff. It's effortless.

Flickr is awkward. You need to copy the embed code it gives you, and use the image URL in the “src” only, delete everything else.

Open the image in Flickr.
Click the 'share' arrow bottom right.
Copy the URL.
Paste the URL into here (no need for the img tag).

All assuming you're accessing Flickr via the website...

EDIT. Works the same from the Android app using the share icon. Just copy URL and paste here.

Works easy from Flickr on a phone but a but not so easy on a PC.
Make sure you have the image set to public.

Hmm. That "Copy URL" from the App certainly didn't work before,
