My name is Mal not Jeremy :)

:help:I was about to post a set of images but when I previewed the post the last 4 were just clickable links, I have since tried again and Flikr will only give me a clickable link url as in the screen shot via my Photobucket account.

Have I a problem?, have I accidentally altered a setting? or am I getting mixed up with using Photobucket and doing something obviously wrong? :thinking:.

It more than likely me as I am having one of those days...........again:D
 
Chaz, that does not post the image in the actual thread for me it only posts a "clickable Link":shrug:
 
Right click on the image in Flikr, go to 'Properties' and click. Look for 'Address (URL)' highlight it, copy then paste onto pop-up box after 'Insert Image' is clicked. Easy Peasy!
 
You need to insert the URL address into the pop-up box after clicking the small icon above with the little mountains in it.

I have always clicked on "All sizes" then "Grab the url", copy and paste, and then followed on with what you say in your second post:thinking:

I works your way but I have never clicked "properties" for the url before on flikr:thinking: the is now missing from what I used to copy and paste.

Test using your method.......

Cheers Barry for showing me a different way but I can not get my head around why
 
This is doing my head in:bang: :runaway:I have never posted using the Method Barry suggests apart from in this thread.

Ahh......:) I think i know what i have been doing wrong, just going to try it again:D
 
I'm off for a coffee, just tried using the exact same method in my original post and the image now appears in the trial thread :thinking: unlike before when it was just a link :suspect:


Gremlins....glitches....

HAHAAAA! don't worry, took me quite a while to get my head round it!!
It works though so just use it!!

mmm coffee! good idea!
 
Darn, I'm too late, I made little video on this a while ago:

[YOUTUBE]<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pu7OwJV7Xnk&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pu7OwJV7Xnk&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>[/YOUTUBE]
 
T&C.s of Flickr - you need to link back to its site when posting to other forums.

I use click all sizes, choose box 1, paste link into here

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tontoshorse/3736920598/"title="200_8541 by 'horse is now putting his pc back together, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2474/3736920598_66eb3db348_m.jpg" width="240" height="203" alt="200_8541" /></a>

edit out the <a href and replace with [url
Delete everything in blue and replace with
[/url].

That is exactly what I have been doing Tomas, the same as I have always done but today halfway through posting a set of images the url was appearing in my post without the which was just a link to the image on my Flikr.

Tried it again and again, it would not work, then began thinking it was something I had done wrong, or altered, posted the query on here, then it just suddenly worked for me using the same method as always.:thinking:
I blame gremlins and glitches!.

You can always just add this text and it will make the pictures clickable and take you to the original on flickr.

Mate, I know exactly what you mean! I've had the same problems recently but with signing in to my business bank account :bang:

Gremlins indeed!
