How does one upload a pic from Flickr to these pages?

On the page for the image you want to use, down lower right in the dark area, is an icon: arrow downwards on a flat. Highlight will say download.. click and a popup will ask sizes and at the bottom, all sizes.

click on all sizes.

select a size that fits this forum, 640 or 800 are OK. Right click on the photo that loads at the size you select and then select; copy image location.

You then Surround your image link with You can even do !! then click betwen them and paste your link. ;)

hmm if you do !! and put the word link in there, the !! parts, just vanish.. like “link” isn’t an image, like.. :)

Got an image in mind?

There’s always a way, or two, or three. I’ll get back to you tomorrow.

Back to that code thing eh.

Let’s see if this works.

Yes. That works.

A bit of a roundabout method.

Open Flickr image on your favourite browser.
Right click – “save as” – “html only”
Open the saved html file in a text editor (such as Wordpad)
Copy the name of the first .jpg file in the html text using (ctrl-c)
Insert between exclamation marks on the forum (using ctrl-v).

Copy the name of the first .jpg file in the html text using (ctrl-c)
Insert between exclamation marks on the forum (using ctrl-v).

Let’s try a few more. If it’s not jpg, you’ll find the image name will be in the html line containing:
meta property=“og:image” content=

If you don’t want to download, you can do:
right-click – view-page-source
or
ctrl-u

all true. It is also true that until now I’d avoided doing it that way. Being put off by the fact that the Flickr default is to share the whole page rather than only the image.

Also by using the all sizes, it is a direct download.

I’ve never bothered. I don’t look at the ads. And although very early on there was limited space, they now offer more for free than I could possibly need. I keep my photos here on the home computer. I don’t trust something like Photobucket as my main storage. I only use it so I can put photos into the forums.

Also you get a full screen view, rather than the crappy facebook viewer.
