Click on the photo and then in the Actions tab, top right click view all sizes, this usually brings up the large size, then right click on it, and choose "copy image url" then in your post on here click the image icon, left click inbetween the img tags and choose "paste" this will paste the image url you have just copied. And below is the result you should get.

I can just tell you what I do, using firefox...... which is probably a long winded way.

When I upload to flickr my images are 800 pixels on the longest side, which fits in with the requirements for posting on here.

I view the image in flickr. Right click the mouse and it will bring up the size options. I select Large (or original, as Large is my original size anyway). I then right click on that image. Select "view image info" in the drop down list. I then copy the url that is shown against "Location"

On this forum, when posting I press the "Image" button below the "Add a Comment" box. I then paste the copied url between img tags as below

I want to add a link to my FLICKR account to my profile. Where do I post the link, and will this link allow ALL my photos to be displayed or just the ones marked PUBLIC?

Click on 'My Settings' (next to your profile pic above left). Then click on 'Profile Information'. You can paste the URL to your Flickr page in the 'My Signature' box, or in the 'My Website' box if you don't want it included at the bottom of every post you make.

(Instead of displaying the URL you can make it more interesting by putting some text like 'Click here for my Flickr page!' or 'One or two odd snaps I have taken'. Select that text then click the 'Link' button - THEN paste your URL).

The link will just take people to your Flickr account, they will not be able to see pictures not marked public, unless they are already a contact on Flickr.
