get photo onto internet (fotopic/where-ever that does not require a login - ei: facebook is no good)
Get the url of the photo by right clicking on it and click properties - the web page address is usually not the one you need!
At this point you could press "img" at the top of the posting window, enter the url and then press "/img" to finish it or manually
[ img]your URL here[ /img] - (but removeing the extra space between the brackets)

This is one of my bikes: [url] http://paul2324.fotopic.net/p38357554.html [/url]
This is the url of the actual picture: [url] http://images5.fotopic.net/?iid=yl6ful&outx=760&quality=70 [/url]
at this point, I must mention fotopic have an annoying habit of dropping in a number after the word "images", remove this to make it work
ei: [url] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yl6ful&outx=760&quality=70 [/url]

With the webpage URL I get
[ img] http://paul2324.fotopic.net/p38357554.html [/img]
[img] http://paul2324.fotopic.net/p38357554.html [/img]

& with the unedited fotopic URL
[ img] http://images5.fotopic.net/?iid=yl6ful&outx=760&quality=70 [/img]
I get:
[img] http://images5.fotopic.net/?iid=yl6ful&outx=760&quality=70 [/img]
but with the edited url
[ img] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yl6ful&outx=760&quality=70 [/img]
I get:
[img] http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yl6ful&outx=760&quality=70 [/img]

Yes you can from flickr - right click the picture, properties, copy the image address upto the end of .jpg and do as above.

NB flickr rules say you should put a link to the image as well
