Posting Screenshots

Post by Dannyboy »

Hi Guys,

I received some direction on how to post screenshots, I tried to use Flickr but when I post the screen shot I just get a small rectangle box that says image in it and no picture. I did set the photo to be publicly viewed don't know if I'm doing something else wrong. Any help would be appreciated, maybe I need to use a different upload site?? Thank You in advance for any info.

Looking at the link, it doesn't look like its a valid link to an image.

Go to the photo and click share, then click BBcode. Copy and paste that link here.

As AviationAtWar notes, you need to get a URL for the actual image itself to share. The link you have provided is to a page that happens to show the image.
