Let's Try This Again

I am trying to post trip reports from STJ, but it's not working. The photos will not appear correctly.

I pasted the text in and tried to insert a photo from Flickr. The first thing that happened is that it inserted it at the end of the report rather than at the curser. When I found it at the bottom the photo and not the URL was there. I dragged it up to the right spot and tried to repeat the steps and all I could get was the URL - no actual photos.

I clicked on the URL button, pasted in the address from Flickr and clicked on the URL button again.

What am I doing wrong?

I think from flickr you have to add .jpg to the end before you close the IMG
just going off memory so that could be wrong but try it!

I use photo bucket so can't comment on flicker. Even with Photobucket I have to manually post
[img]putphotoaddresshere.jpg[/img]
where I want to place it in my report or it automatically goes at the end of the post.

Does that help?

This is what the URL looks like:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3391/363 ... d955_b.jpg

This is what it looks like when I follow the steps:

Thanks MBW. I'll try that. The confussion comes from the fact that it worked once but would not work again.
