How to post pics using Flickr

Recommended Posts

dingle

It's been a while since I did a tutorial, and since photobucket seems to suck major balls right now, I am going to show you how to upload pics to the forum using flickr. It really is easy once you know the correct steps to take....

 

I will assume you already know how to upload pics to flickr......so, once you have done that, follow these steps:

 

Step1

Click on your pic in your photostream. In the top left corner choose "actions". Then choose "view all sizes"

Step 2

"right" click on the picture and choose "copy image location"

Step 3

go to the posting box and click on the "insert image" icon

Step 4

once the URL box appears, right click and paste the URL

That is all there is to it :D

 

some folks may do this differently, but this has always worked for me and is fairly quick once you know the steps.

hehehe...

 

also note. this 'right click, copy image location' method works for ANY pic on the web......not just those hosted at flickr or Photobucket, etc. ;)

agreed. If doing this mobile, there really is no option to upload pics via flickr.

 

Photobucket is indeed the way to go via mobile

Wrong. When you place the arrow on picture, it gives you a tab with choices - url (for SB)or [img} (for thread) url. Choose one, click, then paste. One step.

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE FLICKR THEN DON'T USE IT!

I didn't say it's not useful. I just said PB is easier.

Flickr sucks since they made recent changes. Not easy to copy the image location anymore. I haven't been able to post any of my pics since they 'upgraded'

Agreed. It requires far too many steps now. Can't do it from an iPad at all.

Yes Stupot, once you've uploaded klik on your picture, klik on the arrow(RHS), klik BBCode, select size copy and paste the forum code into your post.

I click on image then paste BB code and I just get a little box with a red cross in it when I preview post.
