Can't you use "preview post" to see if it worked or not?
Huh. Haven't seen that box. I tried to get a few .jpg's to post and I had to download it to my desktop and load from there. I will look for the "retrieve remote file and reference locally" box. Where is it on the page?
Click on "insert image" icon..........then go to "from url" then make sure box is "unclicked" and it should work....no need to download, will post right off the link.
Now if you are posting a picture from your desktop that won't work, but if you are posting from a webpage it will work just fine.
