inserting pics from flickr
 

hi, i have a flickr account and i am trying embed my flickr picture url into a post in the forums, but only a link is showing, is there a way the picture loads in the post?

i try to paste the url into the insert picture from URL section , but the text disapears.

I'm using flickr now as it turned out to be the best option after photofuket screwed us over.


1. Click the You tab at the top to go to your pics.
2. Click albums to find your pics and locate the pic you want to post up.
3. On the bottom right of the pic you'll see the share arrow button, click this.
4. This will bring up another window and click the tab that says BBCode.
5. From the pull down tab in this window I normally use medium 640 x 360 option. Select this.
6. Click the line of code it gives you in the box above resolution settings, which will highlight the whole line. Copy this line to your clipboard and paste it into your thread.


i.e. by https://www.flickr.com/photos/152785468@N03/, on Flickr


Now if you delete the first bit of code before [img] and the last bit after [/img] so you are essentially left with (in my case for this example):


https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4306/...9524935c_z.jpg with [img] at the front and [/img] at the end.


The result will display as below. Job done


https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4306/...9524935c_z.jpg

Basically, if you paste that whole line of code it shows the image and allows users to click the image and go into your flickr page.


If you delete all the bits either side of those 2 [img] text boxes then it embeds the image into the tread correctly.

Thanks BrownPants
