[shabbychicdee]

i can't under stand flickr now it has changed. i found a way to post pictures on forums from my account some time ago. i have been absent for a few weeks now, now i am lost as to work everything.
i went to change my siggy today back to an old photo i used last year and it has shrunk to a tiny wee lil picture.
i use to be able to copy and paste picture info from flickr but i can't find that type of way about it 
if any one can help me please i will be truly grateful

It looks like your picture is thumb nail size. There have been a couple of changes in flickrs picture linking.

On your picture page, look to the top right in the side panel and see "More Actions". Hover over or click on that [depending on your browser] and you should get an option to "Download/All sizes". Then click "View all sizes" - that should give you a variety of URLs for your picture in various different sizes. Right click the one you want, open it in a new tab and then copy/paste your URL. It could be that there has been a change in the different range of sizes and yours has defaulted down.

And make sure its within the siggy limits

Glad you got the pic working.

As for the link, it looks like you've probably missed something in the closing link tag. After the [/ IMG] tag there should be a [/ URL] tag as well, before your other text.

thank you.
thats weird cos i didn't touch the under tags, i wonder how they changed. i will go and have a play around with them.
cheers kiwi
