Photo posting headache!

[Macey J]

I read the tutorials in the FAQ section, and after uploading to flickr, have posted my links, but the photo still doesn't appear in the stream. What am I doing wrong!! Im sure you get this all the time from newbies, a pols!

you are posting the page link, not the image link, which is why it wont work. Click on the image, click share above it and copy the BBCode for the 800px wide version of your picture. Just paste that directly into your post and job done, you dont need any IMG tags or anything else.

So, you have your flickr account here is how too link from there to here:

First, upload your pic

Select the folder and pic you want to upload

Once it has uploaded and you have watched an annoying ad,click the add description bit

Add a bit if you want here

Then click save.

Your pic will now be on your Fickr page, or in an album if you choose one.Next up,click directly onto the pic

This pops up, cick the share button

Make sure the BB code point is clicked, then right mouse button click in the code, it will turn blue,select copy.

Paste that into the thread you want and all will be revealed

Make sure you resize your pics to 1024 on the longest side, makes the whole process faster, better and easier for the forum.
