    The folks at Flickr have changed their format so you can't right click the photo anymore and "Copy picture URL location" They have new buttons so you can share the photo on social media sites, or copy the embedded HTML to display it on a web page. The Embedded option is what we need for the proper information:

    1: find the picture on Flickr you wish to embed into a post here.
    2: Click the share icon (box with a curved arrow coming out of it) and choose the "grab the HTML"
    3: copy and paste the contents in the little window:
    Example:
    <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/89121561@N08/9481956977/" title="Circular Mobile 1cm tall by cspanther, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5479/9481956977_957d348a02_c.jpg" width="800" height="534" alt="Circular Mobile 1cm tall"></a>
    4: highlight and copy the URL path for the "farm" line "http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5479/9481956977_957d348a02_c.jpg"
    5: click the "insert / edit image" button in the post button bar in these forums
    6: Paste the URL there and then press <enter>. It will place the picture in your thread:
