not real sure but shouldn't the links end in .jpg or something ??? [i don't know how flickr works]

Here you go. The image tags need a jpeg image link in them:

Michael.

Thanks for your efforts but I'm afraid I ended up being about 29 minutes to late for the weekender challenge. Doh. How do i put the jpeg tag on the end. Is it simply a matter of typing .jpeg after copying the link into the thread.

Again thanks for helping me out.

G'day hr,

The 'image' tag requires a link to a jpg file - whereas you originally used a link to a web page. Instead of using the url in the address at the top of your browser, you should right click the photo and 'copy target' or 'properties' etc to find the url of the actual image.

This is explained in a post here - viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2789#p32059.

But I think most people have a little trouble at first!


Regarding the weekender seven - you may like to make a post in the main thread and see if Big Red will allow your late entry (it's a fairly relaxed challenge I think).

Good luck!

I like your boats - colourful and clean image.

(But for some reason...I don't enjoy the Borat undies!)

Jase,

No worries. We all have problems until we figure it out.

All I did was to copy the page address from your post and pasted it in a new browser window. That brought up a flickr page with your photo.
I right clicked on the photo and selected 'Copy image location' and pasted it back into your forum post.

Your original boat image post looked like this:

Code: Select all

[img]http://www.flickr.com/photos/29223454@N02/2732027020/[/img]

and I converted it to this:

Code: Select all

[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3187/2732027020_a78d181a7e.jpg?v=0[/img]

Don't worry about the "CODE" tags, I'm just using them so you can see what I have typed rather than have the image show up again...

You can play around with it to see how it is working by clicking the 'Preview' button before you finally submit your post.

Michael

you can still enter it in the challenge as we have delayed it an extra day.

Does Mrs HRPremier know you playing with her underware again?

Nice Boats, Boe looks like hes had a hard day but a touch out of focus (no enough Depth of field perhaps)

Do they play footy up there?

Cheers Mate
All heading out for Nate's birthday tonight as well!
