Re: Flickr ?

Something like this:

On Flickr, bring up the photo page that you want to link and copy the URL.

Create a forum thread, and put in: [.url= *paste URL here*]

On your Flickr photo, click all sizes, then choose one that meets the forum rules on image size.

Right click that image, choose properties, and copy the URL of the JPG. Add to your forum post [.img] *paste URL here* [./img][./url]

That's it. Just miss out the fullstops in your tags.

Re: Flickr ?

If you mean how do you post a shot hosted on Flickr and link to it then ...

Replace the () for [] when you do it

(url=http://flickr.com/photos/grantsteve/565981882/)(img)http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1255/...jpg(/img)(/url)

Re: Flickr ?

What I mean is when people make a post even without pics, they have a My flickr emblem in the post so if you click on it and it takes you to there flickr, I would like to know how this is done.

Re: Flickr ?

If you mean how do you link to your flickr from your sig then look here

It's all done in the edit signature page. (quick links -> user CP -> Edit signature)

It works now
The FAQ links to a thread where you can embed from Flickr ( if you dont already know) and where you can use a small image embedded here from there to link to a larger one in flickr
This apparently boosts your no of views and is said to be a T&C in Flickr

Re: Flickr ?

I mentioned it before, but anyone who hasn't should download Grease Monkey and the All Sizes + script for Firefox, it really helps speed up the posting of pictures to BB code forums like this:
