Hello Mr Humbug... Looking suitably thoughtful...

With a couple of missing photo's I'm very glad to see I'm not the only technical dunce out there! x

This is my photo, after trying since post 1 to get one uploaded without any meaningless words on the page..

Sorry if it scares you, and I am 6ft 7inches tall!

In Flickr go to the dropdown menu beside the twitter icon (above your pic) and click the Grab the HTML/BB code. Select the BB code option and paste the string of gobbledegook into your post.

Simples.

To expand on the kind advice from Moomba above (only because if you do copy and paste everything from the HTML code it still won't post correctly unfortunately!), go to the picture you want to share on Flickr and use the drop down menu beside the twitter icon as Moomba mentioned and you will see this:



Then copy this information and in the reply text box of FT you should click on the insert picture icon here:



and this dialog box will pop up:



You then paste the copied text into this box and then delete the unnecessary bits...so that the only part left after editing is similar to my blue highlighted text below...delete everything up to and including the (src=") text and everything after the .jpg bit (" width...)



Then your pictures should show up okay!

Hope this expands on the usual advice to post pictures to make it easier and gets some more great photos on here!

Really BotB? The image below has been posted using my instructions above. You don't need to worry about clicking the mountain symbol or anything else. A simple cut and paste produces this.

Interesting, my apologies if it works for you, however, if I do exactly as you say then I get the following:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/60499937@N08/5965042410/" title="Untitled by BA_pics, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6133/5965042410_7c3f6a8345.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt=""></a>

Maybe this is due to different OS's?

BotB

Edit: I see the difference now...You have been copying the BB code and I have been copying the HTML code...

So for ease of use, click on BB code and then Moomba's advice WILL work without further ado...or if you want to use HTML and complicate things then hope my instructions work above.

Picture below was indeed posted correctly using BB code button and cut and paste without anything else to do! Sorry Moomba, you were correct...

T8191 I did shave the next day, I promise ;-)

Moomba

You need to click on the BBcode button instead of HTML as noted in my instructions

T8191

If using Photobucket, just click the lowest drop-down box under the picture you want ... the field where it says "IMG code"
The IMG code is automatically copied, and then you just 'paste' into your post at the required location.



Or if you don't want to post the picture, use "Direct link" ... http://i319.photobucket.com/albums/m...tor6658441.jpg

Stayed away from this thread for awhile but given the instructions above (and using my own initiative since I do not really follow instructions like most men), I thought I would add myself to BBB's personal meatrack gallery


To be different, this is taken on-board a ship (like most of my other professional taken photos) rather than on a plane, lounge or hotel room. Its always been on my FT profile so nothing new really.

BotB

That's a good picture KenJohn^

PSICA, not scary at all...but would never have guessed you were 6'7" from the size of that photo in post 913
