Cannot Embed Flickr Images

Post by Mayor Brap Brap »

I can do it with Photobucket, but Photobucket ruins the colors. The only way to embed is to use the giant Flickr HTML/embed code, but every time I've tried on this site, it just shows up as the code, not the image.

And magic tricks?

Okay, this is what happens when I grab the image URL and put it in [IMG] brackets:

Image

It's the link to the image in my flickr, but the image is not embedded on this site.

On another forum, I was able to just copy the embed code for it below, and the image automatically showed in the thread. So on that forum, you'd see an image instead of the code below. Any ideas?

<a href="" title="KDX-1 by Mike Perlman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7393/1187 ... 8659_c.jpg" width="800" height="506" alt="KDX-1"></a>

Ohh it looks they use their own embedding format or something for the slide show.,..Usually you can get a .jpg link with a right click on the picture and a "copy link address" or "copy image url" option there...

I use imgur.com to host photos as it's simplest and most reliable for me

did see a .jpg in that last thing you posted there

Nice looking bike. But a little too nice for a KDX. :lol: They should have some battle scares to tell their tale. :wink:
