Does anyone know how to insert images or image references from Flickr.com since they changed their system a few months ago? I used to be able to find the [img] link, but no more. Now, all it shows is a paragraph of code, which is not accepted by any forum I'm on.

Does anyone know what part of the Flickr code to use?

Just right click and view the image or open in new tab, copy the address in address bar, boom. Or right click and copy image URL if it lets you.

Click the share button, then the HTML/BBCode area, then choose the BBCode option. Then copy that code and just paste it in your post here.

You can also right-click on the photo itself, then go to where it shows you all sizes, then choose a size, and it will show you the actual photo itself. Then right-click on that and choose "copy image URL", and then you can paste it here within the IMG code like normal.

Thanks, everyone, it was the "BBC code option" that I was looking for.
