Nope, same result, no pic. The code it's trying to use is as follows:-

img at the front
and /img at the end then the url in the middle (obviously img with brackets but it doesn't show up if i type them)

am I supposed to remove one of the img's?

I looked at the code you posted, and it is correct for an image link.
I tried playing with it, and it refuses to cooperate.

Hence, the reason I stopped using Flickr.

I have not checked out imagBB that Danielle uses, so I don't know what the difference might be.

@Stottie Girl, this is your image from flickr:



I ran into this when I tried to post images hosted on imgur. The problem is that the url you used was for the webpage that displays the image, and a page is not simply an image, so the img tags don't handle it well.

To get it to work, I had to go into the page source (I used right-click, "Inspect" on my browser) and locate the actual url of the image, which is this:

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55068530792_d8bbf621ae_m.jpg 🔗

That's probably more effort than most people want to put into it - and definitely more than we should have to. I suspect the image-hosts wouldn't love it, either.

By the way, did you all know that the American "robin" is only called a robin because some European colonist came to North America, saw this bird:



and - not having seen a robin in months or years and probably delirious from malnutrition - said, "Look! A robin!" It's actually a species of thrush.

Yeah that sounds like far too much faff Pema but I'm impressed you researched it that far! At least I know why it didn't work. I'm happy to use imgbb in future.

I did wonder why the American Robin looked nothing like ours! Fountain of knowledge you are! It's still a striking bird mind. Is that your pic? it's a cracking shot

Australian Robins look fantastic compared to our European ones but they do still have the same basic characteristics. I would love to go birding in OZ or US for that matter (maybe in better political climate though!)

I completely agree that it's far too much effort, SG. This is the kind of thing I used to do for a living, so there's a part of me that "needed" to know what was going on.

American robins are one of the most common birds in the US. They're kind of big and not very bright, but they're not super-annoying like Stellar's jays or grackles. They do gather around and watch me in the garden so that they can fetch every worm I unearth the moment I walk away. And they are my primary competitor for our figs and raspberries and blueberries.

Ohhh. I hadn't known about Australian robins. Wow, they're gorgeous, but I think the British ones are awfully sweet, too.

Good job, Pema!

I was looking at the URL and didn't think to check the image URL and compare it. Great detective work. Thanks!

That bottom one is a belta Charlotte. I would never have thought of making dandelions the main subject but it really works. Like the framing on the gate one too.

I agree Arran is very pretty for sure. Very beautiful pictures you got too. I remember a load of deer over there  very tame!

Yeah they come into the village of Lochranza at night. It's weird to be walking back from the pub being followed by a herd of deer!

Spotted Cragside there I think! a magical place! nice pics all round. Is that your kitty? she looks a bit like my Lucy.
