I used this as my original approach, however as i was using instagram, a lot of whats quoted in there doesnt seem to work (i.e. extracting the URL from right clicking on the hosted image). When i do extract the URL (the only option in instagram is to use the URL at the top of the page) and add .jpg to it, it simply doesnt work. Im guessing anyone who isnt on Flickr has exactly the same issues as me. I may create a Flickr account when i can be arsed, but at the mo', its just as easy for me not to bother with all the faff.

Why would you expect it to? You're taking a webpage address and adding .jpg to it, of course it won't work. You need the address of the image itself, not the page it's being delivered by. I don't use instagram on a pc but trying right-clicking the image and selecting copy image url or something like that.

And you can not do it in IE or at least i can not have to use Chrome. I use Photobucket its much easier than Flickr has direct link, and yes its a pain in the arse.

a) Because instagram help says the only way to get the URL for the pic is by clicking on the pic and then using the address in the browser.....b) when you right click on the image in instagram you dont get an option for URL

and i genuinely have lost all interest in posting the pics. Faff doesnt come close, although its probably easier if you have Flickr by the sounds of things.

We're all just joking of course, we wouldn't steal your gear unless you left your backdoor open.
