Question on Uploading screenshots

Hi again. I have now opened a Flickr account but I cannot work out how to transfer my Screenshot from there to a trainz thread here?
 
Doesn't Flickr have a "How to link" information on their web site? Not having an account myself with them, I seem to recall seeing this information everywhere when looking at some pictures there.

Cheers

Here's how to do it:

1. In Flickr, open the picture you want to show by clicking on it.
2. Select Share and Grab the HTML/BBCode.
3. Select a suitable picture size, not too large, and tick the BBCode box.
4. Copy the code that shows up in the window.
5. In the Trainz forum thread post, paste what you copied. It should show up as text.
6. From what you just pasted, select and copy the URL for the picture (something like http://farm9.staticflickr.com/1234/567890_etc_etc.jpg).
7. At the place in your post where you want the picture to appear, select Insert Image from the list of icons above the post text. Paste the URL into the window that opens.
8. Remove what you pasted in step 5.

(The reason for the extra edit in steps 5-6 is that Flickr adds some extra info, such as a link to your Flickr page, that you don't necessarily want to include.)
