Hi eddbolton,

This is no bug, you are linking to a webpage that contains a photo instead of the webpage of the photos. Below are the steps to make this work:

Wikipedia:

  1. Click on the image in Wikipedia e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citigroup_Center#/media/File:Citigroup_cen...
  2. Click it again (magnifying glass). e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/12/Citigroup_center.jpg
  3. Copy the URL
  4. Paste the link in Timeline

Flickr:

  1. Click "download this photo"
  2. Click "view all sizes"
  3. Right click on the link beside "download". The text depneds on the which resolution was chosen e.g. "Download the Original size of this photo".
  4. Click "Copy link address".
  5. Paste the link in Timeline

Note: Flick images can only be used if they are set to be viewed publicly and download is enabled by the owner.

You can check my sample content here.

My timeline activity is not displaying pictures even I upload your sample content to Moodle. I have to click the pictures than it opens in a new tab.

Hi bfazlioglu,

I just tried the sample content and it works as expected in my Moodle installation. We may have a different setup so providing the information requested at the top of this forum may help isolate the issue: https://h5p.org/forum/9
