Using the link from Flickr does nothing when I use the insert option, no image displays if I use

Click the Share (arrow) button underneath the picture in Flickr, click embed, BB Code.

For flickr you have to do a few extra things, and honestly I wouldnt even advise using flickr for sharing images, it's much easier to use imgur... however if you do want to use flickr, do the following

#1 Click the "share" arrow, this will bring up the next screen



#2 copy the link they give you, under "BBCode"



Paste that into the forums and you will end up with this;

Car Polish and wheel powder coat by paul crittenden, on Flickr

Note that the code for that is this;

If you just want the image copying and none of Flickr's fluff, you just want the stuff inside the [img ] tags

Note that the link is pointing to a .jpg, which is an image format, if the link doesnt end with the image format, .png, .jpeg, .jpg etc, you havent got the correct link, it needs to be the direct link to the direct image file.

Hope this helps

Thanks guys, helps a lot.

I must admit, I’m using Flickr from my phone and trying to post from my phone.

I’ll have a play on my desktop when I get home.

Yay they work!

I switched to imgur and it’s seamless and easy!

Thanks @Matt O'Brien
