Flickr Photos Not Working
on: August 20, 2018, 11:28:58 PM
Decided to try Flickr today, but when I posted pics here, they show up as that little white box.

I’m getting the url from the “share” button, and using the [ img ][ /img ] thing, w/out the spaces, obviously. 

Can anyone help me?

Copy the URL from the BB Code bit of the share box, making sure you select the size you want from the drop-down menu.  Should look like this:
Code: [Select]
[url=https://flic.kr/p/N96fWW][img]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1842/30283969138_004832c356_c.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/N96fWW]Untitled[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/26008756@N08/]yr hiraeth[/url], on Flickr
Gives you this:
Untitled by yr hiraeth, on Flickr

You can delete everything from the second url in the link, like this:
Code: [Select]
[url=https://flic.kr/p/N96fWW][img]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1842/30283969138_004832c356_c.jpg[/img][/url]
Which looks like this:

I’m using the app on IOS and it only says copy url. Might have to use the web version...

Flickr iOS app won’t let you get the bbcode link, and the mobile version of the site won’t either. I have to do it on a proper computer.  :ahhh

Dunno, never used it - but I know others do.  I've got nearly 2000 photos in flickr, I'm not swapping to another site now. :facepalm:

I use the full website on Flickr on my phone :cheers: I am using Android and it gives the option but I don't know if iOS gives this option though :think:

I use my phone pretty much all the time when I post pics :cheers:

I took a couple screen shots and hope it helps :salute:

This is what the regular site looks like on my phone

Then you click the arrow icon down below the pic to the right and it brings this up :tu:

Screenshot_20180820-181107_Chrome by Poncho 65, on Flickr

Copy the BB code in the size you want for the pic (I normally use large but for some reason it is smaller here) and just paste it in a reply here :tu: Viola you have a pic posted :woohoo:

 :D

Thanks for the help  :salute:

I think to post pics here, I’ll use my PC.

Might see what other places offer BB code links  :ahhh
