I use Photobucket and you just copy the IMG code into the forum text box.
I assume flikr has much the same thing - it looks like the code until you submit the post and then it converts to a photo.

Here's what I did:

Go to the image page on Flickr and select the download image link and copy the link.

For the picture above, the link is http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/392 ... 8d_b_d.jpg and when editing it should look like

Code:
[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3449/3925700855_28976b9d8d_b_d.jpg[/img]


Alternatively, when composing your email, click on the 'Img' box and paste the link between the tags that get pasted in.

HTH,

Dave

I just tried the img bbcode in another post and a warning message came up saying it's not allowed.

Can you access the members' area yet? It's probably that your account is still on public settings - it takes a few days from when you apply for the account to uplift to full performance.

Go to the photo that you want to link to, and right click on the "Download the <whatever> size" link - there should be a menu item that says "Copy link" or similar - that's what you want to paste in.
