Issues with image on CCC entry

Post by Brickninja »

Hey admins, when I'm trying to fill out the entry form for the CCC, I have pasted both the url up in the search bar and the url from the "Grab the link" pop-up on the "share" option on the photo. Every time when I go to "preview entry" it shows the little blank screen with blue question mark square instead of the image. Will it show up later? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

You need to link directly to the image file on flickr and not to a folder. I've updated your first entry.

Thanks,

Thanks. I wasn't linking to a folder, though, I was in fact linking directly to the picture.

The link was to a webpage displaying the image but not to the image file directly (ie: moc.jpg) Although I believe this issue has been corrected to work both ways now.

Thanks,
