You can’t embed Flickr any more, and the new platform doesn’t support BBCode.
It does, however let you upload images direct from your phone or computer auto-embed them in the post. Which means that even there won’t be broken image links here in the future if people delete thinks from Flickr. So best bet is to hit the image icon, and upload your image from a local copy.
If you paste a URL of an image hosted elsewhere and hit return after, it will embed the image too. But that won’t work for Flickr, as the images themselves don’t have a URL.

Here's the remaining shortlisted entries in the Creative Open category:
I don't really know what the criteria for entry is supposed to be, so I can't really tell where Eldagsen's image wold fall in terms of an good or not entry. To my eye, looking at the image, it doesn't surprise me at all to see that it is AI generated, but then he did tell them that there was an AI component to it. Seems to be a bit of a manufactured controversy to then come out and say "actually, it's all AI! Look at how I fooled you all and opened up a debate!". It would be one thing to win a "traditional" photography competition with an AI image, but to win a "you can enter images with AI elements" competition with one seems like a non-issue. TBH, none of the entries do anything for me, simply because I don't know what it is I'm supposed to be judging them against.
Clearly some of them - particularly this one from Nicolas Bigot - have strong "non photographic" elements to them (I haven't bothered to look to see if this is AI, AI merged with a photo, a 3D render or what. I don't really care):
Every photography competition has had to deal with manipulation and inappropriate staging from the year dot. Remember when this winner of the Natural History Museum's wildlife photographer of the year award was stripped of his win because it turned out he staged the shot with a tame wolf:
There's always going to be dishonest people, and there's going to be times that some of them slip though the net - this isn't something new with the advent of AI images.

Found a cartridge of FP100-C for not-insane money. Took it to Akumakon. Gave people some real instant photos.
Ten years ago this could've been a genuinely amusing thing to do at cons. At least- I got one chance to try it. Clean the bug-juice off the rollers and its ready to go again. I found one more cartridge. That'll probably be that - unless the price of One-Instant goes down.
It worked so well. The Magic of the Peel is real - especially to those who'd grown up with digital and instagram. But I'm always late to the party.
(Some lad in the States is making backs for these - to run Instax. I'd almost be tempted....)

"This is an absolutely thrilling moment for us. @dublincitycounciI commissioned artist @gw.joyce to make 8 murals of 8 legends of Dublin 8. Watch out for this fabulous street art popping up around our neighbourhood. Here is John photographed this morning beside his mural on montague lane. Check out both @dublincitycounciI and @dcc_streetart for more details on this excellent initiative. #888 #legends #streetart #dublin8isgreat"
