You should try posting this in "Discuss the website with the team"... it might be the @ in the URL, so try posting one without.

Please don't ask me how I did that - I've actually just astonished myself! I simply don't quite remember apart from grabbing the HTML/BBCode and deleting stuff until it looked like

and then surrounding it with . People who understand computers will surely give you a better and easier way.

Looking at the other bike,



...you appear to have balanced it using the same twig. Exceptionally good multiple use of a twig! Recycling at its best.

But that water looks cold....

-From the Flickr page, click on the "Actions" menu and choose view all sizes.

-Choose the size you want to link to by clicking on it in the list (small, medium, large, original etc)

-Right-click on the image, and choose "Copy image address" (That's on a Mac: I'm fairly sure it's much the same on Windows)

-Paste that address into your comment on this forum, and –with it still selected– click the "Img" button. This surrounds the pasted address with {img} {/img} tags. You can do that manually if you prefer.



(That's the medium size - about right for this forum if you want to avoid scroll-bars)

This forum software is not robust. Any image address that includes glyphs it doesn't recognise (like question marks, or foreign accents), or redundant spaces, will fail to resolve. As far as I can see, that's a forum failure, not your mistake. Linking from Wikipedia can be tricky because of this.

Yup, that works too, it ends up with exactly the same string as I got to. Well, not exactly the same string because it's not exactly the same picture, but different ways of getting to an equivalent place. I note that flickr are not making it any easier either.

Ah thanks for the help guys, and yeah that twig was multipurpose
That water actually froze my right foot, I was riding over what I thought was this little stream for like 1 metre to cross it , it was iced over, so as I was going over the front wheel smashed down, I jolted forward, naturally put my foot down for support. That went through the ice as well, all I can say is, it was a bit fresh
