Contests link

I've been trying to post a message to the newest photo contest. The text posts, but I can't add a photo attachment. Consequently, I linked to my Flickr account, but that image doesn't show either. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Are you using the photo link in the reply box or adding [ img ] at the beginning and the [/ img ] at the end? (The spaces shouldn't be there) and is the picture a .jpeg or .gif ? I don't use flickr so not sure if there are thumbnails and regular size pics but from shutterfly I can't use the thumbnail to link. HTH!

To post an image, you have to link to the actual image file, not the page the image is on. In other words, if you wanted to link to the image on this page: http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/from-the-editors/all-time-best-recipes-00400000041570/ you'd have to right-click the image itself and select "view image" to get the URL of the image, which is http://img4.cookinglight.com/i/2007/09/0709p120-beef-daube-l.jpg

When you click the insert image button in the posting menu, you need to input the image URL, not the page URL.

If this doesn't make sense, or if you are using the image URL and it's still not working, please e-mail me at cl_comeditor@timeinc.com for help
