Sorry it doesn't work for me all I see is text. In order for it to work you need to get the picture on the internet a Brickshelf account works best. just upload the picture to the brickshelf account and keep clicking on the picture to get to a web page that looks like this. Once you get that done copy that pages URL (web address) and click on the icon of that looks like this:

Then paste the URL into the box (that automatically shows up when you click the button) it will show up something like this:

Hope I helped you out .

Jep, Flickr works the same

[cartoondude]

So first i went to my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26270222@N04/

And next went to the image:http://www.flickr.com/photos/26270222@N04/2596598920/

So i copied and pasted it into what MacK said to do. But when i tried to post it said: THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND

You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board. A valid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.gif, an invalid format is: http://www.domain.com/picture.one.gif

HELP?

Have ya tried photobucket? I use it all the time.

It seems your IP address or flickr's is dynamic, which you cannot link too.

Since im not sure which is the dynamic IP im not sure how to help. If it is flickr's doing then join up with BS or Photobucket.

With Flickr things are a bit different than with Brickshelf. On Flickr the easiest thing to do is to go to "all sizes", select the one you want, medium is usually fine for forum posting, and then right click on the image and select "Copy image location" (or something like that, different browsers name it differently)

Then you can paste the address into an [ img ]...[ /img ] (without the spaces of course, and with the URL to the image in place of the dots)

Like this: (the medium sized version of the image you posted a link to)

It has nothing to do with dynamic IP*.

You just have to make sure your picture ends with .jpg, .gif or .png.

(.bmp has nothing to do on the net)

There are some good and thorough tutorials in here made by some of our dedicated members. Try them out.

*Dynamic IP is something some ISP choose to give their customers in order to make it harder to set up servers.

And to get by with fewer IPs than they have customers. (but now we are getting off-topic)

EDIT: It worked!! thank you all.

Sorry but i don't know where to put this exactly, and i didn't find anything about it at the help section also. I just wanted to post a new review, and then this error came um: "Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed" Can anybody tell me what this means? I didn't do anything different that i wouldn't do normally.

Edit: Okay, i fixed it, it was just a wrong link. Sorry for my blindness

Not a prob. I'm glad you worked it out. I've merged your topic with an older one.
