Posting from flickr

This was workshopped in the Hearses thread, where I am deleting the experiments in favour of this fresh post.
If you keep your photos at flickr, go to your photostream, find the photo and click so that it is the only one on the big black screen.
Bottom right has five hieroglyphics. The middle one is a box with an arrow: click on it for export options. Click on BBC, and you now have the bit to place on your post to HCVC.

I have done that with a photo of a petrol station at Tallarook, on a bit which had been Hume Hwy in its goat-track days.

It gives me all of this, where xxx = img, and yyy = url

The only bit which I had to repost was this:

It is work, but it does work.
This photo won't be around for ever: I am on a deletion schedule with flickr; three per day get removed.
When that happens, I won't be able to edit this post to a fresh photo.
I'll delete this post, and put up a new post with the same text and a different photo, and post this Tallarook photo to Hume Hwy thread via my usual method.

I have deleted the Tallarook photo from flickr.
Because it is the first of a thread, I can't delete the preceding post. The instructions are valid, but the photo won't show.
I have placed the photo via my usual method into one of the five threads on Hume Hwy: the one in the general section, Towns Hwy 31 bypasses.

I am having trouble as well, since the new format. I used to right click properties, then highlight the location, then copy, then paste. I have tried everything. Any ideas?

Coupeute,

I use Flickr and I hope this helps.
I have both the forum page and the flickr page running side by side.when i need to post a pic,
Left click the picture in flickr to bring it up then move the curser down to the bottom right hand corner and left click the arrow icon to bring up the view all sizes window,then
left click on the bottom line view all sizes,you can now choose the size that suites.
Right click to bring up the next window.Left click on copy Image Location,
Go to the forum page that you have ready.Left click, Right click,Paste and you should be on your way .

Please note: I am using a Mac, though I use Firefox as my internet browser and this should still have the "Image location" option if you are using a Windows Computer

The same as LN but with a further mod ...

From 'Photostream' on Flikr click on the image you want to post. It becomes bigger. To the right of the image at the bottom there is an arrow curving up and to the right. Click on this. Select the 'BBC' code and the image size, highlight the address box, copy it (it might automatically copy), paste it into your post, and you'll end up with something like this:

I delete the second half of the link to leave this ...

This gets rid of the extra wording and is what I paste into my post.

To get the links without the images above I changed the ' [ ] ' brackets to ' ( ) ' brackets. When I put them back the right way I get this:
