Hi,
What is the best way to load photos onto the forum? Just would like to have something easy and like to signup to the right thing. Flickr or whatever?
Cheers
Shaun
Flickr just does not appear to work any more. Yahoo really don't appear to want to fix it so that it works on iOS, and I'm not sure about other mobile platforms either. Shame, it used to work really well.
I've gone back to Photobucket, which does have issues, but does still work.
IMGUR is pretty simple to use on a mobile. Flickr still works OK if you use the desktop interface
Imgur is dead easy to use.
Flickr still works but it's clumsy.
Imgur here too. Use the app on phone/tablet or the website.
Great I'll look into that right now
Ok next question, haha I can get the link in a post but how do I get the photo to just show?
Try tinypic and then just copy the provided link under "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and paste it into the box as it is. Don't try and add anything, click the IMG button or do anything beyond pasting the link into the box.
Works everytime for me.
Ok next question, haha I can get the link in a post but how do I get the photo to just show?
Copy and paste the BB code link.
I use Photobucket,I used to use Flickr but nowadays it's a right pain.
With Photobucket you just click on the link.

Flickr works on most platforms, on Android there is a trick extra step, hit share copy the URL open it in a browser (set to desktop not mobile) and you can get the BB code that has always been there. Not sure if IOS grabs the flickr url to the app or lets you choose to open it in the browser or not.

Can't believe it finally worked haha
If you at first you don't succeed.

It was an Orange 1. They grow up so fast!
Chorlton you only need the bit with the http link and .jpg file name - the rest you can edit out. That way your name and other stuff doesn't appear slthough people can still click through

This is the 1st time I've managed to stick a photo on from Flickr without all the gubbins.
Cheers Jabalalaya. Yeah thought there may be something else to do to tidy it up.
Testing, first photo post

Another first timer.....

Woo it worked, it was supposed to be in the Australian pictures thread but none of them worked.
I have Flickr Pro and also Picasa which I also have on web pages via a gmail account. I am unable to put pics on this forum (though I have no problem copy/pasting URLs onto the Trailscotland site); all that comes up when I do a preview is six lines of gibberish code. Have tried removing extra http// etc but to no avail.
I still use Flikr and grab the BB code, but I do edit it to remove all the URL references (delete the syntax in square brackets that starts with URL) leaving just the Image reference (syntax in square brackets beginning with img) to remove the links to your flikr account.
Still not sussed out quotes though.
Esselgf ...where was that photo taken ? ...looks great!
So a bit like this (god I'm such a ***wit with PCs!)
