How to post a picture from Flickr ?

[edprocoat]

I can not post a picture anymore. I used to click on the Image icon and I would copy the URL freom the share tab on Flickr and paste it into the pop up place for URL. Now that does not work ! I tried to post the BBC code and trhe HTML code too and neither works. Is it no longer compatible with Flickr here ?

Click embed in the rich text editor (an icon accoss the top).

That will open a dialog that asks you for the url - paste the url in the space. Should work pretty much like you are used to.

If you have no locally defined media, it does not...

My mistake, sorry. Click 'image' (little picture icon - hover your cursor over it for ID) and enter the url.

OR, just grab the BB code for the photo and paste it into the draft of your post.

Testing.

Looks to me like you can't simply refer to the normal photo page.

Ok - so here's what you have to do in Flickr.

1. Go to a photo page.
2. Click the "Share this photo" Icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. It's the second from the right. A dialog box pops open.
3. Click "BBCode" in the "Code"section.
4. Select a size
5. Copy the generated BBcode from the text box under the size.
6. Paste it in you message.

...and you get a photo like this, in line in the message.
