: Hi Paul,

: Flickr has a proprietary way of encoding the images on the site, so
: you can't "steal" others images using the right-click
: method. Flickr is actually one of the harder photo sharing sites
: to get just an image URL, as they are trying to force viewers to
: the Flickr page for the image, not just letting you share the
: image elsewhere. This is using a Windows machine and Firefox
: browser, but this is functionality built into the Flickr
: website, so is not specific to an OS or browser.

: While looking at the image, on Flickr, near the top left corner of
: the image you should see a couple of buttons,
: "Actions" and "Share this".
: If you click on "Share this" a menu should drop down, and
: have an item lower in the menu that reads "Grab the
: HTML/BBCode"
: The URL is the part of the code that begins with "img
: src=" - copy from the "h" in "http" to
: the "g" in ".jpg".
: You can then post that image URL into the "Optional Image
: URL" box on this forum.

: Here's a link to my flickr picture of a kitten we fostered not to
: long ago, and the URL from the "Grab this..." info
: pasted in the Optional Image box for this post (I used the
: "shortened" version of the URL, hope it works like I
: expect...)

Stephen,
Been trying over and over for the past hour to post a picture. It just doesn't want to happen for me. Any other suggestions?
