Flickr images
After a number of failures I just managed to post a couple of typewriter images via Flickr.
Flickr gives you two options:
1) Grab the link: eg
2) Grab the HTML/BBCode: eg <a href=" title="Monarch back by steveenfield, on Flickr"><img src=" width="500" height="375" alt="Monarch back"></a>
Neither of these will work if you cut and past them into the 'image' text box (click on the mountain icon in the message toolbar). What did work was me extracting the jpeg information from the HTML code and pasting that, in this example:
I can't help feeling it should be eaiser than this. Any suggestions welcome.

Re: Flickr images
Does Flickr give the "IMG Code" as does Photobucket?
Copy and pasting the code from a Photobucket photo to a forum should bring the photo right to the post. Very easy.
To get the photo posted this link:
has to be inserted inside-
[img] [/img]
When I copy the IMG Code it's all done for me; Just copy and paste the IMG Code here and the post will include the photo. For additional photos keep adding IMG Codes for each photo.
PS: This 1907 Remington No.6 came from ebay with the cool little brass padlock attached as you see it.

As you've discovered, all the forum software wants is the address of the image on the internet. I don't know which operating system and web browser you're using, but for me I can just right click on an image, and then select "Copy Image Url" from a drop down menu. Then you just have to click on paste when you have the Image dialog box open within a post.
At least you don't have to do what I do, which is to type out the entire address from scratch because I'm uploading the images to my own domain server.

Re: Flickr images
Old ward locks such as those are easy to open. You just need a generic key of the right size, and a bit of oil. It's a cute little thing :D

I love the padlock. The typewriter came in a metal cover/wood base and I think the padlock was likely used on the hasp in front of the case.

That would make a lot more sense than my theory!
