Can I use photos from FLICKR on this forum? If so how do i do it? Or can i add a attachment from my computer and to it that way after i re size it? Have used Photobucket once but now they suck! I would like to use Flickr. Any suggestions? Thanks issue31 john

To use images hosted on other sites, you need a URL that includes only the image, with no page around it. So it has to end with .jpg or .png
Usually you can get that by right-clicking on the image and selecting "copy image location" (or something similar), but some photo-hosting sites don't allow that.

It's easy with a little looking around for the guides:

With your picture open in Flickr click the share button at the bottom, it gives you a few options, make sure to select the BBCode, copy the link and paste directly into your post, you don't need to use the "img" button on MB.
