I thought I would bolster the York representation on this thread with the cornet versions of two of that company's most eccentric creations:
(York Airflow and York Feather Touch Master)
Here's a close-up of the valves on the Feather Touch:

While I'm at it, here are my pocket cornets:

I tried it just now.
Still no luck.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I deleted my post until someone can tell me what went wrong.

20 years ago I was trained as a Web designer.
This TH page contains posts which successfully included embedded photos,
so in Internet Explorer I viewed the "source code" for those posts to find out how they successfully embedded photos.
The source code for those posts was completely different from the code that TH provides for embedding photos.
Nothing makes any sense.
It is as though the TH software is not compatible with itself.
I give up.

I've always loaded my photos onto a photo hosting site and copied the embed code provided into my posts here. Unfortunately, the one I used for many years, Photobucket, blocked all the links in an attempt to go from free hosting to a $500 a year fee. Therefore all my old posts (and many other people's) have no pics attached any more. _________________ "Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away ." - Sir Thomas Beecham |

1. set up an account on https://imgur.com
2. upload your photo
3. select a photo size, then click the button to copy the BBCode
4. paste the BBCode into a post on TH.
For example, here's Louis (photo size: small thumbnail):

I have always used Imgur for uploading pictures I want to post here. It's reasonably easy and reliable, and still free. (However, they recently expanded their site and redesigned their home page so that you have to hunt through the sub-menus to find where to sign in or create a new account.)
When I've opened links to see pictures in Photobucket, the experience has been pretty awful (slow loading of pictures and constant ad interruptions). If they are charging fees now, I hope they at least get rid of the ads! |

I'm an Imgur fan, too (as my previous post indicates), but I just went back to the site after many months and found that they redesigned it -- I couldn't see a way to create an account (or sign in to an existing one) from the home page!
Just so potential Imgur users don't get discouraged, I found that you can get to the 'create account/sign in' selections by choosing one of the following sub-menus on the home page: Privacy, Terms, Ad Choices, or Rules. These choices are at the bottom of the screen, but they overlay a scrollable bulletin board of "viral uploads" so they are a little hard to see. (Apparently Imgur is trying to turn itself into a Pinterest-style website.)
Once you get past that, everything is still pretty simple. |

For those who were not around to see what happened;
I created an account at Flickr
and I uploaded all my photos to Flickr
and I copied the Flickr locations into my TH post using TH's img markers
which created clickable links in my post,
but it did not create photos to appear in my post.
I experimented with the code, but nothing worked.
In college I got A's in Web design using source code,
so if I can't do it here at TH, something is seriously wrong.

Mark --
If you want to solve the "seriously wrong" thing that is preventing you from inserting images uploaded to Flickr directly into your TH posts despite your excellent college record in web design, that's one thing, and I'm afraid I can't be of help.
If you want to get images directly into your TH posts, stop trying to use Flickr and try Imgur instead.
When you upload an image to Imgur, it generates 6 kinds of link to place the image in a target website (Image Link, Direct Link, Markdown Link, HTML, BBCode, and Linked BBCode). The one that seems to work with the TH Forum is Linked BBCode. In this format, the address of the image ("http://i.imgur.com/Tsl0hgi.jpg", bracketed by [img] and[/img]) is placed within another 'bracket pair' defining the URL of the hosting website (in the case of Imgur, this pair is [url=Imgur_URL] and[/url], where Imgur_URL = "https://imgur.com/Tsl0hgi")
Here is the result I get for one of the images I uploaded to Imgur and then inserted here using Imgur's generated linked BBCode:

Mark --
One more thought: Maybe you can use Linked BBCode to successfully access your image in Flickr.
(If you already tried that, all I can say is, "Pardon me.") |

Mark, I think you're thinking too hard.
You need a working direct link (a url) to the picture file somewhere. Preferably, it should be a clean and simple link without any extra code in there like "http://www.place.com/bubba007/image01.jpg" (that's a made up link, to be clear). Some site are better at providing that than others.
You need to imbed said link within [IMG] tags. The closing tag should be proceeded by a "/" before the img within the brackets like this (without the quotes): "[/img]"
If you simply have the link without the tags, the link should be highlighted so you can click on it to get to the picture. The tags will cause TH to load the picture within the post.
As to where to find a free site to host pictures that give you links, I used to use Photobucket. I guess I'll have to find a new site, now. I've never used Flickr or Imgur. Still if you "open image in new tab" from the browser (right click menu) that tab should open only the image - thus, giving you a clean direct link to the image, hopefully - even if the site doesn't provide you with one.
In 2 minutes, I didn't see an easy way to wrestle a clean link from Flickr (right clicking didn't give me an option to open it in a new window) - it does give you bbcode link to embed, but I'm not sure that would work great on TH, though it should, theoretically. There's a lot of extra stuff in those links. Some sites - like Flickr - make it difficult to do this, so people don't link to other people photos without their permission.
After about 15 seconds of clicking around, Imgur did give me a clean link with "open image in a new tab" so it might be easier to use with TH.
Good luck. _________________ LA Benge 3X Bb Trumpet

Fresh pic of my large bore Bach Stradivarius 184G. Yes, I still have it, and it's now 25 years old.
