RickM. I did it from Flickr.com. I followed Simonov's advice below. Except don't put the brackets on the image for the Avatar. Thats funny. I thought you were some expert on computers. I know almost nothing about computers especially this image posting process. I just got lucky and figured it out. But you know something? I think I figured out why others do not have big ones. I think it squishes not only your post over to the right but all the others posts as well. I am changing it back to a smaller one. Don't want to ruffle anyones feathers. That's funny about bringing a friend for the ticks. I wonder if there has been a topic about ticks? I told her to get a burnt match and stick it on its butt and it would remove its head. It worked but after looking up on line about ticks it says that that method can cause the tick to spit out more of its fluid inside your body. Along with possible lime disease. So some say use tweezers close to the skin on the head and some say even that is a bad method too. I found this thing called Tick Twister. Are you familiar with it? Seems like it would twist the head right off. What is the best method? Also what does library c23 mean?

1. Go to the photo page.
2. Click on "All sizes."
3. Select the Medium photo size.
4. Now you have some choices. The easiest way is to copy and paste the URL near the bottom in the box, and bracket it with img tags:
Code:
[img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/182/367544491_b662995a52.jpg[/img]
That gives you something like this:
But if you want to link your photo back to the Flickr photo page so people can click on it and see a higher resolution view if they want, it gets more complicated. You have to use both url and img tags, and use the URLs in the first box near the bottom, which looks like this:
Code:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonov/367544491/"
title="The Machine by simonov, on Flickr"><img
src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/182/367544491_b662995a52.jpg"
width="500" height="375" alt="The Machine" /></a>
You would edit that mess so it looks like this:
Code:
[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonov/367544491/]
[img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/182/367544491_b662995a52.jpg[/img][/url]
(except it has to be all on one line)
Resulting in something like this (click on the photo to be taken to the Flickr photo page):
Experiment using the preview button on the Post a Reply screen.
5. Alternatively, you could just put all the photos from your hike into a group, click on the group icon, then copy the group URL from your address bar and paste it here, like this:
