Posting images from Flickr to BF
Either BF or Flickr changed their process a while back and I haven't been able to post images here. I asked for assistance on the "Need help?" forum, but with the instructions they gave me the only thing that shows up here is a little icon with a green hill or something. Could anyone here lend a hand? Step by step, please. Thanx!

This works with Windows and Chrome:
1. Open the photo (not just the thumbnail); make sure it has security setting "public"
2. Right click the photo and select "copy image address"
3. Open the message window in BF and select the photo icon.
4. Paste the URL in between the [img][/img] tags. It should have a .jpg extension.

Flickr uses some sort of image-display coding that prevents this from working in Firefox. In Firefox (on Windows 10) here's what I do:
1. Find the photo you want to show in Flickr (and it's got to be public)
2. In the bottom right corner, click on the "download this photo" link
3. Select "View all sizes".
4. Right click the photo and select "copy image address"
5. Open the message window in BF and click the photo icon:

6. Paste the URL in the dialog.

The nice thing about doing it this way is if you click the photo, you are taken to it on flickr.
