Problems with images showing on Threads / best way to import from Flickr

[matt_wright]

First off im sorry if this doesnt belong here - i couldnt quite decide where it belongs.

Hi guys i have been doing a 366 project and posting my images on here. But there seems to be a slight problem with some images not showing. Instead a tiny box shows with a red cross in it. Usually if i then right click and press show picture it come up. But i want people to see my pics without the extra effort (which some people wont do).

This is the thread in questions where it sometimes happens http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=376141

I wondered if it was a problem the the way i import the photos to the site.

I do this by first uploading to Flickr. From Flickr i copy the link to the photo page onto TP, then right click on the size of photo i want to show and select properties and copy the image details into TP so that i can post my photos and also people can click on them if they want to go through to view those photos and other on Flickr.

If you would like to see an example of the way i code the pictures when writing a post to see if this has something to do with it if you look at one of my post with pictures in the thread and click quote you will be able to see what i use (hope that makes sense)

Is this the best way to import photos from (inculding so people can click on photo) - could this explain why sometimes the images are not showing?

Sorry this is a very long winded opening post - i wanted to give as much detail as possible to help get the answer

Many Thanks

Matt

Click on the photo in Flikr you want to post, click on SHARE button just above the photo, go down to the Grab the HTML/BBCode, click on the dot for BBCode and select the image size, highlight everything in the box above the size selection, copy everything you've just highlighted, go to the TP page, click on insert image on the message box and paste what you've copied into the box that opens and then post the message. It should work, it has been doing for me.

Thanks - that is a much more efficient way of doing it compared to how i was!!
And more importantly the pictures seem to be showing all of the time.

Thanks Again

Matt
