    Hi Everyone,

    I am having problems displaying photos on the forum.

    I am using Flickr and copying the link and pasting it inbetween the image [] link has been going in here []
    but it just doesnt seem to be working.

    am i doing something wrong?

    Cheers

    I have tried that but it doesnt seem to work, it just gives me a small pix-elated square where the image should display

    Post the link directly...without using the "img" box, you already have the correct code from flickr to embed a photo :)

    I think it is to do with your settings Mike. When I click on the 'share' button, it says "sharing is restricted on this image"

    I think it was TinyPic that had some dodgy picture on its home page.
    Not 100% sure, but I wouldn't use that one, just in case unless anyone can correct me on that

    You are right Jac - not suitable for a family forum :)

    Mike, sometimes it works for me and sometimes not. I find you have to say a special word and give the computer a special tap/hug, keep your fingers crossed AND hold your breath, in that order, then it should be fine :-\
    Lovely puppy!
