Only Flickr Link Exists after saving in WordPress

  I successfully posted a picture from Flickr to my WordPress blog directly from Flickr. The picture appeared on my blog nicely formatted. I then edited the posting containing the picture on WordPress and saved it.

  If I look at the page now, the posting text is there but only a link to the picture (which works) on Flickr and not the actual picture itself.

  Can someone tell me how to fix this? I want the picture to also appear and not just the Flckr link.

  Thanks.

  That’s really weird. I looked at the raw HTML and the image is there. I manually copied the link and the link is correct.

  I checked another blog that links to flickr images in the same way and it’s working fine.

  I have no idea.

  I’m having similar problems on my self-hosted blog at the moment. I think Flickr must be having issues.

  /me goes to look at Flickr…

  It looks like the problem may be browser related (on Windows XP, at least). Internet Explorer renders the Flickr picture OK; Firefox only shows me the link.

  The other weird thing is that while IE shows the image OK, the other images which I uploaded direcly into WordPress come across huge in IE; I’ve been told this might be related to the size of the actual files themselves.

  No biggie.

  Thank you all for your input.
