im sure this has been done before so sorry about this.

trying to add pic to thread
gone to img
pasted link
sent post
picture doesnt show, im currently using flickr, any ideas? does image size matter?

thanks as usual

You need to do this

You’ve gone to Flickr
Clicked on “Share”
Chosen the BBCode option
Copied the code?

Then you don’t need the IMG tag just paste the code

The image will re-size for viewing the forum, but best to pick a smaller one to conserve bandwidth (especially for mobile users)

No, no. no. If you only paste the URL, you’ll need the IMG tag

Have you tried doing as I suggested above?

<img src=”http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7030/6520756423_9a49c0bc87.jpg&#8221; width=”500″ height=”375″ alt=”IMG_4482″>

No – the BBCode version (there’s a wee checkbox under the code and size drop-down)

The code looks like this
[ url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/druidh2000/6433647403/]h

… and so on

without adding the tags…

Yes MRanger156, but it’s not helping the OP 🙂

wahey thanks guys, druidh i missed the checkbox first time around, been trying to suss this for ages, thanks a lot

Very nice bike by the way! If you use google chrome you can right click on the photo and copy image url. Click the IMG button on STW, paste.

that works a treat mediums good,
thanks ranger only finished it yesterday had its first ride around the monkey this morning

The way I do it is to select your image, click the actions drop down box and select all sizes. Then choose large and right click the image. Then choose copy image URL and paste into STW. This way no one sees your Flickr user name.

Ahh was wondering about that cheers mate

Ooh can we all join in? 🙂

Ooh nice bike, not seen one of those before

Interesting front tyre choice…

What makes you say that chunky ?
