Right i didn't realize that flickr have changed how you post pics.
Can some one talk me through how to do it ,all i seem to be able to do is post up the pictures address which links back to the picture but does not show the pic in the advert.

So any help appreciated , i've tried searching for similar threads but cant find any.

Thanks Iain

Go to the webpage that your photo is on and click on "Share This"
You need to click on Grab the HTML/BB code
Click on the radio button for BB Code
What I then do is right click on all that gubbins in the box, then do a copy
Paste into here:

Yeah, tried that using my phone, like I always used to, and it never works. Started using photobucket, who actually have a neat, simple, uncomplicated solution that works every time. I almost get the impression that Flickr have deliberately made it difficult to post pics to stop people infringing their guidelines. Or maybe I'm just being cynical.

It's not difficult, its much simpler now than before, no more taxing than copy and pasting

Swavis it has all the code there for you so no need for the IMG box.

You can also pick the size, it's incredibly simple it's almost like Flickr want you to share you pics and keep within their guidelines.

So thats how you do it! I've been faffing about cutting and pasting bits of the code out and putting [img ] [/img ] around it since Flickr changed itself.

Cheers Simon.

I like the way the actual pic will link back to your photo on the Flickr site too, not just the links at the bottom.

Er, I think you need to put your glasses on old chap. If you look at the upright rides they are at 90 degrees to the bottom of the picture. The layout of the fairground makes the picture look squint. If I rotated it so that it looked level the upright rides would be at an angle.

I had partaken of a pint of Old Rosie, I was standing on a steep slope and it was pitch black. Not bad all in all.
