You'll need to use an image hosting like tinypic or imgur to get a URL

OK. I'll try that. Is there some reason that flicker's pic url's don't show up large? I have used that...

The forum software will automatically resize any linked image. This prevents margin blowout on posts.

I get that but why can others post larger pics than me??? What am I doing differently/wrong???

Are you linking the actual large image, or are you linking the thumbnail image? Two totally different things.

I've tried linking all different sizes Except for the thumbnail size. LOL. I thought the thumbnail size would be REALLY small...

Regardless of what size I link they all end up the same size...

Give some link examples please.

I think I'm an idiot. I was using the wrong link... LMAO!

Flickr is using lightbox, which makes it very difficult to get the actual URL of the image in question. You could try posting the BB Code they give you, but I'd personally go with a different image hosting option like IMGUR.

I used IMGUR. I think I've got it now! Thanks again!

One more try...

Just played around with IMGUR a little bit and figured out how to generate multiple links, etc... Way better than Flickr! Thanks man! You rock!
