Hey all, I used to use photobucket for my forum sign, but now that site is a complete mess. I tried copy/pasting the flickr picture URL... but that just displays as the signature, not the pic itself. Is there a command you need to type in, before and after the URL to get the picture to show?

Thanks!

Flickr is a poor choice for a third party hosting service, in my experience, so the problem might not be your code block.

Try hosting it on Imgur instead and see how that works.

Ill try Imgur. Kinda sucks that I need to do a whole account just for one photo lol. I doubt I will use it for anything else.

If it's wargaming related, you can host it here.
