2. edit your post and just delete it all except the part that is the photo

you can check it in "preview" too

I don't know about flickr but most of the time you can just open and image and then right click to "copy image location" then past that here.

3. "copy image location" doesn't work on Flickr

They don't want people "hot linking" like that, so they display images as background images with "view background image" disabled. I don't know of any good way to display Flickr images here. The links they provide, as in the OP, don't have any file type extension such as ".jpg" that the software here needs to recognize as an image in order to make it an HTML image tag.

4. ahhh good to know I will try to remember that

OP might want to try https://postimages.org/ instead

5. testing it from the OP

6. How did you resolve the URL?

Edit: Never mind -- I figured it out. Your OP was one of the Share options, what they call "BBcode" with scripting tags, which includes a direct link to a .jpg file. So, you can copy just the URL with the .jpg file from that code and paste it here. I don't use Flickr any more, but that's good to know.

7. I just right clicked the image in the OP and clicked "copy image location"

so it just gave me the url with the .jpg ending and completely ignored the other stuff since it wasn't actually part of the image.

8. Yes, since the code you pasted included a .jpg URL ...

... the script here made that part (and only that part) an HTML image tag. It made the other two URLs into HTML links, and left the rest as text. So, after it's posted here, the "copy image location" on this page works. After a little test, it seems that the easiest way to do it is to copy the whole "BBcode" line and paste it in the box here, but delete everything except that one .jpg URL before posting.
