John,
Welcome.
To enter a photo from flickr you need to right click on the photo that you want to show and copy the properties then paste between [img... tags like

Code: Select all

Very cool! Thanks - I'm not so tech savvy, so couldn't quite figure that out.

Bill, I usually post my photos to my website then link to them here in posts. Finally gave up last night as it would not work.

I tried:

[img]...[/img]

and the old
<img src="...">

Nada. Any thoughts on what I did wrong? I even cut and pasted the html from photos here and then changed the 'address' leaving the syntax. On Ipowerweb the photos on my site were in their own folder and I linked to them there, tried that as the address here so maybe the location is the issue??

Brad,
Do you have an example of the address that did not work?

Code: Select all

Seems to work.

<img .... should still work if you uncheck the disable HTML in the options but if you do that the photo will not show in the new software.

Were there spaces or other characters in the file name that needed changed?

I actually changed the program to convert the space into what the software wants so you do not have to do anything.

Bill, your fix worked the next time I linked to photos but today my new post in the 'shoots' thread same problem again. I copied the code from one that had displayed properly, then changed to the correct filename, thinking that would be the thing to do but maybe not?

Brad,
Are you sure you uploaded those images? I cannot find the photo names in the database.

No, not here, those are located on my website, such as the photos I posted a couple of days ago and it worked.

Brad, I replaced the "http://www.bambooweb.info/images/bamboo/" in the addresses with "http://needmorebamboo.com/photos/2008%20photos/" and they show up.
