I have tried to paste the actual images of flickr and Google Streetview with no success; I just get the links. Does anyone know what codes should be used for the two examples below?

Sorry, don't see the problem with the Flickr pic ...



For Street View, the only way I've been able to do it is via a cropped screen shot.

Cheers,

For Street View:

Click on Link, which will give you the URL.
I don't think you can merely embed the street view image into a post, but you can link to it using the [url] format code.

The URL for streetview is located in he blue border above the street view image, you will have 3 links: Print, Send and Link.

e.g.

174 Hammersmith Road

ETA: That's not Haymarket??

For Flickr, go to share this, select BBC code, select the larger
of the medium sizes, cut and paste the whole code.

[img] and [pic] both work, the only difference is that you can click to enlarge pics
