    I tried to reach through the sticky threads and followed the steps shared by some brother here, but I was not able to get the picture posted via insert image with link from flickr.com. Was there any step that I missed out? Really appreciate if any brother can help me with this.

    This is what I did. I clicked the insert image icon and the pop up window has this "http://" prompting me to key in the link. I assumed I should copy the link given by flickr.com and paste it to the input line. Post the thread, but the picture does not appear, it shows a box with red cross though.

    Re: Problem with attaching image from external host, flickr.com

    I just managed to do it the coding way.

    *!*Remove all the dot(.) below..
    First, type in [.URL="get the URL of your image from flickr"][.IMG][/IMG][/URL] (e.g [.URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxx@xx/xxx/#"][.IMG][/IMG][/URL] )
    Second, go to flickr and click on "Grab the HTML/BBCode" and copy out the .jpg image link (e.g .http://farm4.staticflickr.com/xxx/xxx.jpg)
    Third, paste the link you get and paste it inbetween [.IMG][/IMG] (e.g [.IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/xxx/xxx.jpg[/IMG])
    The result you will get something like this
    [.URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxx@xxx/xxx/#"][.IMG]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/xxx/xxx.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Again, remove all the . inside [.]..
    A bit crazy if you can understand what i wrote but this is the first time i am using flickr to upload as well (i always use photobucket). Easy way out is to use photobucket if you're okay with it =P

    Hi wingless, thank you for your great help and I managed to get the picture uploaded. I did not remove any "." though. Like you said, I got the BB code and uplift the part where it starts with http:// and ends .jpg and paste it to the link. It works!!!
