Why can't I get photos to insert?
I'm using Flickr. I can copy and paste the URL of the photo I want to display, but it just pastes in the link. That works, but how do I make an actual picture appear in a post?

Use the Insert Image icon, not the Insert Link one. Make sure you are copying and pasting the full url image location.

Wrap IMG Tags around the image URLS

i jam my thumbs up and back into the tubes. this way i can point my fingers straight out in front to split the wind and attain an even more aero profile, and the usual fixed gear - zen - connectedness feeling through the drivetrain is multiplied ten fold because my thumbs become one with the tubing.

That didn't work.

edit - I used the insert image icon and pasted in the above link. When I posted, my comment showed the tags around exactly the same link that appears above. But as you can see it still didn't work. Oh well.
Further edit: if I right click the red box above and select properties, it shows the correct address but indicates it's "not available."
I think I'm done worrying about this for now.

Take off all the characters after 'jpg' IE: ?v=0
And here's what you get when you put the img tag around it

Just click "insert image" and insert the url: https://farm1.static.flickr.com/131/3...22aa67.jpg?v=0
One dog owner to another. (I'm guessing you have a dog, unless you've found some other, unconventional use for those metal bowls.)

I right clicked on your photo and selected "copy image location", then came here and opened the post/reply editor and clicked on the yellow mountain peak button, then pasted the url there.

Thanks for your patience; I think I finally understand. I was navigating to the photo in Flickr and copying the URL that appeared in my browser. That's a different URL than I get if I right click the photo and select properties. The latter procedure gives me the URL that actually needs to get pasted in.
