Need some help with embedding public photo from Flickr to DU.

I have always been successful in copying the embed code and pasting into my posts. Today, when I go to preview it there is nothing and the embed code is gone as well.

I just moved and have a new ISP: Comcast. Still using same computer and Chrome browser as when all was working.

You can use either the BBcode or the "embed" data.
Copy the data from the Flickr text box.
Paste the data into the DU text box.
Edit the pasted data (delete) to keep only the URL to the JPG file, which is in the middle of the pasted text.
