tried a few different ways by editing my previous post but to no avail...

when u say "link to image here", is that for if the image is hosted somewhere on the web and u put the web address in there?

I uploaded the image but also have it on flickr...

Okay, when I right click on my flickr image and get 'copy image link' I get:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1431/818351323_18deba2244.jpg?v=0

Now, all you have to do is paste the copied link into the PASTE LINK HERE

tags, BUT remove the ?v=0 at the end of the link, since flickr likes to add that. Otherwise it won't work.

Good luck.

If you are posting from flickr they normally prefer if you link back to the site

[*url=http://theflickraddressforthephoto][*img*]http://imageaddressonflickrforthephotosizeyou wanttodisplay[*/img*][*/url*]

Remove the "*" and replace with the urls for the flickr photo page and the actual image size you want to post here.

how do you insert the photo so when you click on it it brings you to the photo in flickr? as M450 has done?

Beau* · 15-07-2007 7:25pm

You add a [url][/url] tag in between the image tag.

So,
[*url=linktopagehere] url]

The easiest way I have found is to go to the page of the image you want to insert and copy its URL, then click the insert image button in the reply box and paste the URL in there and press OK. Then go to the page you want to link to and copy its URL, next highlight all the text (including the IMG tags) produced when you inserted the image and click the insert link button. Paste the URL in there and click OK, then preview your post and your image should be there, and you should be able to click on it through to your page.

Clear as mud.
