Fixed Board Images Issue

[Zach Matthews]

I was able to fix the issue with the images displaying in different sizes for vertical versus horizontal orientation. And I did it on the first try! That never happens.

I’ve been having a tough time getting images posted even after the tutorial offered by you and Tim.
Thought I might give it a try here…………..

Okay, I clicked on image, copied the URL code from Flickr and pasted it in the box with the above results….am I missing a step?

Mark –

Two things: first off you need to make sure you are not duplicating the http:// as you have done above. It’s going to be provided for you when you bring up the image input window, so either delete it or only copy your link without that section.

Secondly, though, I think you are copying the link from your BROWSER page rather than the actual link to the image itself.

The easiest way to copy the link to an image is to right click the image and look for an option along the lines of ‘Copy Image URL.’ (That is what it is called in Chrome but it may have a different name in another browser).

I went to the page you linked to, clicked through the image to the ‘original image’ page, and right-clicked the image as I described above, thus copying the actual link to the file (rather than to the page).

That is the link to the file itself. You have http://http//www.flickr.com/photos/77133278@N05/9102060436/ in your link. Note the double “http://”

Using the link above, and the ‘img’ input button, I can make this:

Hope that helps,
Zach
