I've tried two ways.
1. Simply grabbing the whole BBcode in Flickr. Sharethis/choose original size/check BBcode/copy and paste
2. As above but select HTML instead of BBCode and then don't grab all the code, just the actual URL from within that code.

it's not just flickr, it does the same thing to smugmug images.

I hope it's okay to do this MA but for consistency I'm gonna test this with your images...
This is a rightclick to copy the image's location. Then i click this icon http://www.photography.ca/Forums/ima...nsertimage.png.
and i enter the URL I pasted and i UNCHECK the Retrieve remote file and reference locally checkbox. This is the result.

And now compare that whale tail image of mine you've posted against this one viewed, uncompressed, directly on Flickr ... Humpbacks Love Playtime | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
You'll see it's much sharper.

Wow, you have way better eyes than I do. I just can't see the difference :(

Hi everyone - so sorry for this trouble.
Seems the issue is related as MA correctly noticed to images wider than 800 pixels. This is why the problem seems intermittent, it won't affect images smaller than that.
I will try to fix this today myself or get someone smarter to fix it tomorrow.
again sorry for the hassles,
Marko
