    Hi all,

    I have tried Google-ing this issue but wasn’t sucessful in locating an answer. The problem I have is inserting images into posts, from Flickr, Imageshack and other image hosting services I use.

    When I compose, i go to little IMG icon, insert image dialog opens and I select From URL. There I copy and paste images url, jump into the second field (Image title) and a little red X shows up next to Image url. I have recently moved from the free WordPress.com to self-hosted WordPress site (MediaTemple) if that makes any difference but the problem is same on both services.

    The only way I can get around this problem is to go to HTML editor and play a bit there and then it works. I would hovewer prefer to get it going in the visual editor.

    Thanx for any tips you might have.

    It sounds like the image urls are incorrect.

    Hey, thanx for the reply!

    No, IMage url’s are correct, I do know that much about html :). (I simply copy the link from FLICKR; not from address bar in Firefox but from within Flickrs SHARE function

    Cheers!
