Image links not loading

[NellyV]

Hi,

I can't get image links from either my Imgur account or Flickr account to appear as images in a draft post. When I try to insert an URL from either site I get a red background in the text box when I hit enter. The links work fine if I embed them in a Word document or paste them in a browser, so does this suggest there's an issue with the Britmodeller site, or should I be looking somewhere else for a solution?

I’m using Flickr and having exactly the same problem. Did you find a work around for it?

good luck I’ll keep looking

Flickr seems to be working ok now, hopefully for you too!

Yes! Flickr seems to be working again now, but Imgur links still failing. No woriies, will use Flickr

I use Flickr and I add the BBCode directly into the Topic/Reply box. 

 

Do not use the InsertImage From URL box! That doesn't work.

It works, but you have to trim the code Flickr gives you.

 

You get this: <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/fukuryu/51336488882/in/dateposted-public/" title="MINA7230B"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51336488882_eee7c1eee4.jpg" width="480" height="300" alt="MINA7230B"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

 

Copy the highlighted part on the code above (the "real" image URL) and paste it on the "Insert image from URL" box and it works.

 

Like this:

 

Hope this helps. I am quite sure I learned this from this very thread, or a similar one. 

 

P.S.: Love your cat's picture!

Hmm, my Flickr is playing up too, to the extent that my whole post won’t load.

 

Testing 1 2 3…..

 

 

But is now working!
