Actually, it's Flickr that's the issue. Unlike other image hosting sites like ImageShack or TinyPic or PhotoBucket, the people behind Flickr have coded it in such a way that it will just "refuse" to do/allow clickable thumbnails. The dimensions of the images that you currently have in your first post (500x375) are all at a reasonable size (not too big, but not too small either), so if all of the images on your Flickr account are of a similar size, then you shouldn't really worry about using clickable thumbnails.
Now if you really would like to do clickable thumbnails, you can just use any of the sites I just mentioned, or any one of the dozens of other ones that are out there. They all have the option for users to set up a free account with them (PhotoBucket requires an account to be registered, ImageShack and TinyPic make it optional/allow you to use their service without having to make an account). All 3 sites will automatically provide you with the required coding for clickable thumbnails on any/all images that are uploaded onto them.
If, on the other hand, you'd rather just stick with Flicker and not have to worry about/bother with uploading your images anywhere else, you can always just post direct URL links to the individual web pages on your Flickr account for each image.
Cheers, that's helpful.
Also, new stuff added.
EDIT: Nope, it's definitely HJU's BBcode that's screwed. I tried Photobucket (since I've had an account there for eons), but no such luck. It had the same problem. For anyone that cares, here's the problem:
Code:
When I use [url=][url], everything is fine.
Also, [img][/img] is fine.
Now combine the two.
[url="http://www.whatever.com"][img]http://www.whatever.com/myimage.jpg[/img][/url]
HJU hates that, and will always change it so this once the post is saved:
[url="http://www.whatever.com][img]http://www.whatever.com/myimage.jpg"[/im][/url]
Also, I now see that the code tags are broken. Bah. I think all of these problems relate to the two options under Miscellaneous Options in the full WYSWIG editor.
These two:
- Automatically parse links in text
- Automatically embed media (requires automatic parsing of links in text to be on).
Another edit: Nope. Still broken. Bleh.
