So you’ve got your photo all edited and stored in your Flicker account but cannot make it appear on the Forum.
Flicker have a habit of making changes and leaving you stranded trying to understand where all the bells and whistles have gone then knowing how to use them once you dig them out.
Below is a method that I use – rightly or wrongly – it works so thought I would share.
Far better to see your picture on the Post than just a link to it.
Ok I’ll keep it as simple as possible and assume you have a Flicker account already in place, for those on PB why not give it a try – No nasty adverts getting in the way for a start!
Single left click over the photograph you want – Photo expands and shows this:
Hover the curser over the box with an arrow coming out of it – bottom right –
“more ways to share”
Single left click and then this pops up:
Single left click to place the “dot or bullet point” into the HMTL position.
Single left click to select “Grab the HMTL / BBCode”
Single left click on the drop down arrow and select the size you want (medium works well) Scroll over the size you want and single left click.
Your option selection should now match the above with a box full of gobblegook.
Single left click in this box will highlight the whole text – Single right click and copy.
Dump this into a Word Document page then delete everything before and after the line starting http and ending .jpg like this:
This is the line that you need to copy and paste on the Forum Post:
At the point that you wish to insert your photo, single click on this “tree”
Paste your copied text line into the box marked “image URL”
Type in any Description
Type in any Title
Hey presto, your Photo appears like this:
Single left click on the “insert” button and job done.
