How do you post photo's within posts?

First, host the photo at a website such as Flickr, tinypic, or imgur.

Copy the URL that displays your image.

On this forum, put that URL in between a (IMG) and (/IMG) tag. (Use square brackets instead of parentheses), like this:

Why do I get this when I tried your method?
See my post under 5th Avenue.

There may be a problem linking directly to your Flickr account.

adgorn,

Did Flickr provide you with the [IMG] ... to cut and paste right off their site or did you create it? Some of those picture hosting sites don't allow direct posting to other sites. Photobucket is a good image posting source. They provide HTML code right there to copy and paste specifically for this purpose.

FYI I'm not using Flickr, I'm using Picasaweb on Google.

I fixed my post by eliminating the [IMG] [/IMG] tags. Also figured out the right links to view both my folder of pics as well as any pic in general.

This is the Hallecrafter factory that made short wave radios, later TV's and organs.

Right, see the entries under 5th Avenue. I was just posting here to figure out how to correctly post a photo.
