See the singletrack mtb magazine logo at top left?

Right click on it and select 'properties'. You'll see that the image address (URL) is:

So, to post that pic, you write:

{img} {/img}

But instead of using the curly bracket I used {} you use the square ones []

Simples:
[img] [/img]

I'm using a Mac so there is no right click!
I have pasted the HTML from flicka after pressing the IMG button but still no joy?

No sympathy from me in that case. Go solve it yourself or better still, tell your Mac to 'just make it work' 😉

EDIT - Flickr can be a bit funny and it looks like you've just copied the web page address in. The pic address will almost certainly end in .jpg

chuck85:

CTRL + Click then, or if your on a macbook/pro two fingers on the mouse pad + click.

....anyways for Flickr:

1) Go to your photostream for example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/46004836@N02/

2) Click the picture you want, say for example 'Snow by Carn Kenidjack'

3) Click the 'all sizes' button just above the top left of the pic.

4) Once you have picked the size you want, for this example i selected the 'large' image, right click the picture and select 'copy image address'.

5) Go on to STW click the [size=15][u][b]IMG[/b][/u][/size] button above the text box you are writing your reply in and right click and paste and you should have something like this : . Hit ok and your done.

on your flickr page , just above the photo there's a wee magnifying glass and the text 'all sizes'. click on this, then on the new page do the two fingered tappy thing on the photo if you're on a mac and select 'copy image address. Back to stw, click the image button, paste the link and click ok.

Not URL - IMG! You're pressing the wrong button!

Incidentally, regardless of how big you pic is, the forum will scale it down so it does not break formatting of the site.

Amazing! When using Flicka it seems that you have to get the URL after selecting the size of the pic not from the share photo options!!!!!!!!
