Put a PSA post up over half an hour ago for some shirts with 6 Flickr photos (ok, a couple of them had my ugly mug in them)

"This post is subject to moderator approval" or similar

Wagwan?

It's some stupid thing in STW's system that means your post won't post if it has loads of links in it. A Flickr image has three links in it so six photos exceeds their arbitrary number of links. It makes posting pictorial threads a multi post faff

It’s anti-spam filter. There is a limit of how many photos you can post at a time.

Yep - too many links. Try splitting them over a couple of posts.

I've had the same linking from the Flickr website.
The mods told me that it creates extra links and it gets picked up as spam or something like that.
Seems any more than four pics triggers it.

Think posting from the Flickr mobile app solves the extra links problem and you can post more than four pics at a time.

Or copying the URL from the Flickr app. Each pic only uses one link per pic, not three.

If you try to put up a post from "Latest discussions" theres a drop down box where you need to select either chat, or bike.

Posting from Flickr has always been a pain. (Many) other hosting services are available.
