Trouble posting pictures

[Nod]

I've posted pics before but lately I can't seem to download from Picasa or Flickr. It gives me an "Invalid URL" box. I can download from my computer but for some reason is suddenly won't accept pics from those sites. Any idea why? Thanks.

Uncheck the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" option.

Thanks sparky, I tried that and it put a red X up instead of the picture. Now what ? This seems to be the only site that does this to me.

When you click on the Image icon, do you click on the "From URL" option?

From flickr go to the pic you want - hit the share button - go to grab the link - check and make sure you have the bbcode not the HTML code. Copy and paste in here.

The BB code should look something like this:

Yes, but it still doesn't work.
I've tried all of these suggestions but nothing so far. I'll keep trying. Thanks for all the tips. Keep 'em coming !

Have you tried manually using the [ img ] tags around the url of the photo directly?

 

[MTVision]

Yes, but it still doesn't work.

You've tried pasting the bbcode right in the thread and it didn't work??

I'll be damned, that worked ! Thank you MTvision. I'm going to try that with Picasa too!
