    how come my pic is so small?

    Manitou,
    I think it depends what size you've selected from all-sizes & taken the url. eg.
    this was 'small'-size url –

    this was 'medium'-size url –

    Still can't get the link back though…

    They've definitely changed it.

    Anyone give a tip for making the picture link back to the flickr page?

    Yes. Go to the previous page and read what Drac has posted.

    Shizzletrack – you need to use square brackets, not angle brackets

    Since we're using this as a testing thread and I have been failing recently, here goes…
    This is when I am not logged into my flickr account, having selected all sizes and then clicking on the medium option, right click, copy image URL

    (edit: And it worked… Going to try again when I am logged into my Flickr account)
    This is not loged in, having not clicked on 'all sizes'.

    Okay, I have done exactly what I have been doing recently and failing apart from the fact that I was viewing my own album on Flickr without being logged in this time? Relevant, maybe?

    Yey! Labmonkey!! Welcome to my world!

    Okay, if you're logged in to Flickr but do not go to the 'all sizes' section, you don't get the 'farm3.static.flickr.com' address, just the user/photo ID path with no .jpg image defined and that doesn't work.
    Sorted. 🙂
    (I am sure someone else already deduced and said this very thing but I had to get my head around it so maybe my version will be helpful to someone else?)

    Labmonkey, your photos are private – is that relevant?

    Just want to see if this pic works. Sometimes it doesnt.

    TN – no idea?! I will have a look now… This has always foxed me, and I have never asked for fear of looking dumb… it seems that this latter statement may be correct! haha

    Just testing…

    Your 'IMG' brackets didn't have the closing /
    You need to open with a {IMG} (in square brackets though, it'll go nuts if I use the proper ones!) and close with a {/IMG}

    OK, attempt number 4
    [img]

    🙄

    [img]http://" alt="" title="" class="bbcode-image" />

    Shizzletrack, what is the text you are putting between the IMG tags?

    I've tried all sorts!"Grab the link" and "grab the html" as well as logging out and copying the url.

    TN – I keep editing the first attempt, just to save me from fillig up this thread with failed attempts… but I now have the 'x' box… progress maybe? From using the advice you posted starting 'just testing' then a white lapierre…

    @shizzletracxk, that URL you've used is the link to the page that has the photo on it, not the picture itself.

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/34577062@N04/4090003992

    the image is:
    http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2544/4090003992_a4d61a7baf.jpg

    all I did was right click on the image and choose "copy image address" (in Safari)
