Ernest, PA to Tacoma, WA



This is my first attempt at posting a photo and the preview isn't working well so if this doesn't work, what am I doing wrong. I have the (img) url (img) (in brackets though) in there but the preview isn't liking me.

URL just in case if it fails: https://www.flickr.com/photos/raymondyue/6067973190

In the bottom right, there's a curved arrow (the share button). Use the BBcode link to share it in your post.

Shouldn't there be a .jpg or other extension on the file name?

Also, what is the photo size? If it's over 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels tall, that might be the problem.

It was a .jpg and 640 by 480 when I retested it in preview but still nothing :-(.  The original I think violated the size requirement because the original was 1080 by 1960 or so. I'll try again soon on a different city.

I believe that if you post a photo larger than the the size requirement, the forum will automatically resize it, and as long as the image isn't a link (some Flickr images are links), clicking the photo will make it full size. I have never had an image come up as a question mark because of size requirements.
