OK, I give up! Posting pics...

[ducsport]

Folks,

I know this has been asked about 1,000,000 times, but how the #$%^ do you get pictures to post please? I have a flickr site with the images hosted. I am using the 'insert image' icon in the post reply screen, and pasting the flickr url into the [img] boxes, but still the images do not come out.

What am I missing here please? ducsport the inept......

Okay Ty I feel your frustration.

You are almost there.
You need to copy the image location from where you pics are hosted at flickr.


and you should be good to go.

To get the image location just right click (PC) or ctrl click (Mac)

And just to add to the confusion, is the flicker site your own or is the one where we all have our pictures collectively ??

[mattyvas]

Well either really.
If you want the details of the Flickr just let me know.

Thanks Matty - the guru as always.

Cheers,

Do you have a bigger copy?
What is the maximum image dimension you uploaded to your Flickr.

yes, used bigger ones for the post in for sale, which you have already replied to...

Well then perhaps you guys can help me with issues I have been having with Flickr. It was not always the case but now I can only paste links to the photostream ... not the full size version of the photo.

So it still works just that I can only link to the smaller photo ... is this because I am a cheap-arse on a free account? Something seems to have changed - any input/advice? I have only started to have this problem recently.

[mattyvas]

yep it is a recent thing.
you have to go into all sizes and select the size you wish to post.

Thanks Matty I think I understand. I'll try it sometime.
