Flickr Anyone?

[laffingravy]

The more and more that I use Photobucket to host my photographs the more dispondent I get with their hosting service. They keep sneaking ads onto me and spyware agogo. Last night attempting to load a step by step on here I eventually gave up. I am told that Yahoo run a similar service to Photobucket which they call Flickr. My question or questions are: Do any of you use it? If you use it then do you rate it? Finally, after opening a Flickr Account last night and blindly fumbling around the thing I managed to load about 40 pictures from my pc to it and they loaded far more quickly and smoothly than Photobucket. My big problem came even I tried to get the image links to put them onto this Forum. After about an hour I gave up and in a fit of frustration went back to Photobucket. Can anybody tell me once I have jpeg's loaded on Flickr how do I then get them on here.


Many, many, many and many more thanks,
Geoff

Hi Geoff, I've not long changed to Flickr. I will attempt to talk you through it.

Have both the forum and flickr open.
Go into flickr click on the photo you wish to show in the forum.
In the bottom right you will see an arrow(share photo) click on that.
A box will open up, click on BBCode, next choose the photo size 640 480,
next copy the code in the bottom box.

Next go back to the forum, open up your post and paste the code.

Steve, you are a Bobby Dazzler. Thank you ever so much for your help. This is however exactly how I was attempting to load stuff the night before last and instead of an image in my post I was only getting either a link to click on or a load of text. I will have another go tonight since I am hacked off with Photobucket.





Thanks again,

Geoff
