15. URLS that end in .jpg, .png, .gif, or .bmp are automatically rendered as images

[link] is for rendering a link as a line of clickable text, and [img] tags and most other bracketed tags are not recognized as tags on this board, so they're just copied to the output. You just want a plain URL to a graphics format file.

On Flickr, there is an option to generate a "BBcode" link. It includes a bunch of tags that don't work here, but it is the only option that includes a direct URL to an image file, so you can copy and paste just that URL (or copy and paste everything, then delete everything except the URL), and it will work fine here. (There are also URLs to Flickr pages in the generated code, so make sure you just get the URL for the .jpg file.)
