I have tried to post some images on here today from my flickr account. The format seems to have changed . I cannot find out how to insert the link between the [img ]....[/ img] tags. The old set up was easy. i.e you went to the all sizes page and copied and pasted from there.

Am I missing something apart from a screw?
 
Flickr guidelines say you should link back to the original photo page...

Anyway, the old HTML can still be obtained from the Share this button at the top left of your photos. Just click on Grab the HTML from the dropdown menu and you'll get the code.

Alternatively, use Quickr Pickr to generate forum compatible code.

You need to copy out the last parts.............

What doesn't work for you? You can't grab the HTML? Or you can grab it, but you then can't use the HTML where you want to use it?

If you're wanting to post a Flickr image onto the forum then you need to convert the HTML into a forum friendly format. Take a look at the Quickr Pickr link which will simplify all of this for you.

I found the coding link for forums and HTML.... Simple really.. the button on the right that says "Share this" all options are there......

Apart from direct image link, to insert into forums...

EDIT: (although it can be extracted from the HTML code)

Struggling there, David?

The link from the Share This menu, is a link to the Flickr photo page.

The HTML which you've tried, needs to be converted to BB Code. The direct image URL can be found within the HTML.
 
Hi

Click Actions/ View All Sizes, Choose the image size you want, then right click View image, then you have the image URL in the address bar, Simplz :thumbs: HTH
