    what am i missing when posting images?

    I go to add photos to a post using the insert image tool with the flickr link and just get an "x" box. I tried just copying and pasting the link, but it just leaves the link and not the actual photo in the post. what do I need to do to get an actual image to show up in the post?

    You have to get the direct link to the image. I don't think flickr makes it easy for you.

    Say you're on this flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacex...260-1477354216

    Hit the share button and on the embed tab you'll get this code:

    <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacex/16236321533/in/feed-130603260-1477354216" title="ORBCOMM"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7631/16236321533_1216582801_b.jpg" width="1024" height="683" alt="ORBCOMM"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
    Pull out the part that ends with a ".jpg" In this case this:

    Code:
    https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7631/16236321533_1216582801_b.jpg
    Then drop that in and surround it with the img tags. so it looks like this

    Code:
    [IMG]your_image_url_here[/IMG]

        Step 2:


        Step 3:
        Copy what's highlighted and paste it into your post for each image.

          Step B:


          Step C:


          Step D:


          Step E:

          Paste the copied URL into the dialog box, then select "OK"
