On flikr, choose the 640 file size to view, then right click, properties, copy image tag, paste in here with the img tags.

What you have done in your first post should have worked. I think the problem is with this forum– that it doesn't know how to parse secondary glyphs (like @, é, ? etc) when they're between tags. You need to find some other way of expressing the url, via a mirror like a url-shortening service, or some such.

It's a bit annoying, especially with wikipedia pages which often use full, complex names in their url's, and consequently break the forum. Mods– am I missing something?

agreed, is there a techie reason it can't be simplified?
