Is the image hosted somewhere? It needs to be addressable as a URL.

It’s uploaded on Flickr.com

I copied the URL that was showing.

You need a URL in the image quotes; yours was just a jumble of numbers.

So, this would look like https://i.postimg.cc/xjpBC9Lz/Ball.jpg BEFORE you put it in the image quote box.

So, before you hit "Post Now," it would look like this: [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/xjpBC9Lz/Ball.jpg[\IMG]

Note, I replaced the back slash (/) character with a forward slash (\) character to demonstrate what it would look like as you type it out - that ending bracket SHOULD look like [/IMG]. If I didn't change this / character, it just would've shown my pic, like here:




Here's a quick tip - find a post with an attached photo like mine, and hit the 'quote' button. It will show the text of my embedded pic.

Post the link (without the img tags) or email it to me and I will give you a link you can use to post an image.

A usable link will begin with http://webaddress.com or you can just post link to webaddress.com/blahblablah - from that I can get a link for you to use to link directly to the photo.

Is this it? Sparta by Ashley, on Flickr

Leonidas by Yiannis Konstantakopoulos, on Flickr

Flickr does not permit posting just the image to message boards/fora--it provides a "Share" function (the little curved white arrow beneath the photo lower right corner). Clicking on that arrow initiates a short dialog that results in a link that can be directly posted to a board/forum.

The above are just 2 of the many photos on Flickr found by searching for "Leonidas Sparta".

Bama, thank you for the help. My cousin is in the picture, but it is her vacation picture so what could I say.
