    Hi guys

    I'm trying to figure out why I can't post images. I've followed the steps laid out here - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=55194002&postcount=23

    But when I preview it all I see is a broken url sort of icon, however the link part does work.
    What am I doing wrong, is there a setting in my control panel maybe that I need to change?
    Any help appreciated!

    That's not an image. It's a link to a page which itself a redirect to another webpage. You'll need a link to the image itself.

    Such as this small form of it:

    You're adding img tags around the already prepared tags from Flickr in that case, which also includes links to the album and user site.

    Ok I get you, thanks!

    One last question - so for that I was copying the BB code info from Flickr and also using the IMG tags here. So what specific bit of the info from flickr do I need to grab, is it just the bits within the IMG tags?

    The bit in the img tags should just be the image link itself in principle.
