Hey man, I posted the pictures you had uploaded on to flickr for you. If there are any you dont want on tell me and I will delete. The bike LOOKS GREAT !!!! NICE JOB! Hope mine comes out nearly as nice. If you need any more help PM me and I can help you though it a bit. WARNING --avoid the following if you don't like computers, HTML programming etc. It will likely just confuse the issue. I looked through the HTML source on your post, looks like the image links were not valid. So I think its something to do with the way you are copying the picture's Web address into the space between the image tags .. ie the "img" text between the square braces. Your image address was something like "http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3225/.jpg" so the root address (the stuff up to the last forward slash seems fine, and your technique was expecting an image to be copied since there was a ".jpg" at the end, just missing the name of the actual image.) Seems like a Flickr thing. END of warning -- enjoy the pictures! WOW! Bill--      |

Yea. Just adding .jpg to the end of a url doesn't work. The url has to have .jpg at the end to begin with. If it doesn't, it's not the correct url. The proper url for pics hosted at Flickr can be found by clicking "all sizes" and it will be at the bottom of the page.
It isn't that the system here is hard. It's just hard to find the proper url at Flickr.

heaven's sake - how do i get this image system to work? and YES I HAVE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS This is a little snipit from one of my recent posts on the subject of pics... It deals directly with how to get the proper .jpg url from your flickr account. Going back to your flickr photo album, here is the way to extract a .jpg url for your pic.
Click on a pic from your album
Then click the all sizes button just at the top left of the pic.
Then click the medium button above the pic.
Then right click your mouse on the medium pic. A box should come up, click on properties.
Another box will come up. Look where it says location and copy the url there. This will be an appropriate url with the .jpg that you require to paste between the [/ i m g] tags.G Man |
