Here's the location of the image: https://flic.kr/p/2m9m8yB
I tried enclosing that URL inside the img tags like this:
Code: Select all
[img]https://flic.kr/p/2m9m8yB[/img]
The image I'm trying to insert is stored at http://www.flickr.com which offers 4 different options for sharing. Here's what the one labeled "Embed" looks like:
Code: Select all
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/150056224@N03/51290501743/in/datetaken-public/" title="Delete Post from MozillaZine Screenshot"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51290501743_487351b4b4_m.jpg" width="240" height="145" alt="Delete Post from MozillaZine Screenshot"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Which produces this in my post:
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/150056224 ... en-public/" title="Delete Post from MozillaZine Screenshot"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/512 ... b4b4_m.jpg" width="240" height="145" alt="Delete Post from MozillaZine Screenshot"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Enclosing it in img tags produces this:
Another sharing option is labeled "BBCode" and looks like this:
Code: Select all
[url=https://flic.kr/p/2m9m8yB][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51290287551_f1977a30a4.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2m9m8yB]Delete Post from MozillaZine Screenshot[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/150056224@N03/]Will Anderson[/url], on Flickr
Delete Post from MozillaZine Screenshot by Will Anderson, on Flickr
[/img]
However, When I thought of just pasting that code directly into the text minus the enclosing img tags I was surprised and pleased by what I saw when I clicked "Preview":
Delete Post from MozillaZine Screenshot by Will Anderson, on Flickr[/code]
BINGO! Success at last!
I think I'll leave this post here in the forum so the next time I forget how to paste a screenshot into a post, I can search for this thread and find the answer.
