Using Flicker on POTN

I was using photobucket to post pics, but the photos seem like they loose quality when up loaded to PB. I asked around and found others have the smae problem. I opened a Flicker account, but I can not seem to be able to post pics in the forums. All I see is a small box with a red X. I have followed the how to post rules, but I must be missing something.

This is what happens.

HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Redirected to error image by FLICKR

Your link has two "http://"s. Remove one.

Thank you, that was driving me crazy!!!

By default the forum software automatically inserts the "http://" in the box you enter your link. I'm guessing you pasted your link after this rather than deleting it.
