Need help using Flickr

Post by TooMuchCoffee »

I've got some pictures on Flickr I want to post here (trust me, you know you want to see them). I need help in that I can't seem to correctly get them from Flickr to here.
Any help would be mucho appreciated.

I use photobucket but i'll try helping.
Flickr website wrote:Where is the HTML code and photo file link?

The HTML code to embed a photo in a web page that you used to find on the All Sizes page is now only in the Share menu above the photo, to the right of the Actions menu. We now also include BBCode! (standard message board code)

There are a few cases where the code may not be available: 1) If the photo is restricted. 2) If that person has turned off "Share this" or access to original files.

The direct link to a photo file is no longer shown on the page. Per the Flickr Community Guidelines "pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr." Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this.

You should be able to copy and paste the BBCode straight in here and have it work, but if not lemme know.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

Bingo! I think I've got it now. Thanks a bunch.
BTW, is Photobucket easier/better?

I like it cause it has the html/bbcode/whatever code links right below the pic so it's easy to share them and it defaults albums to "sharable" security, but like I said I've never used Flickr so I can't really compare them.

photobucket also doesn't add the links to your photo album. Example:

Your Photo this:

with code of this (> added by me so the code shows up):

[>img][>url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/69185475@N03/6289398781/][>img]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6227/628 ... 97699c.jpg[/img][/url]

Would be this:
