Re: Flickr link

You just need to put the URL of your Flickr homepage in the [url] tags.

For instance: (replace the { with [ )

{url=your flickr homepage url}My Flickr{/url}

Re: Flickr link

Just copy and paste this into your sig but change the tomato1 part of the link to your own flickr account (and remove the smiley!).

Where do I find my home page URL, please excuse my ignorance as I’m a 66 year old pensioner and it’s all a different world to me!



Ally, nothing happened when I clicked on your suggestion!

Re: Flickr link

when you open Flickr it is the URL that is diplayed in the address bar at the top of the page. It will be something like:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lightpainter

except that's not you

Now click on 'Your Photos' and that will give you your flickr address

Copy that into your next post and I will do the signature for you

You have a flickr account I presume?

Re: Flickr link

Right, so your signature code will be:

[*size=1][url*=http://www.flickr.com/photos/10622924@N06/][color*=blue][*b]My Flick[/color][color*=red]r[/color][/b][/url][/size]

Just delete the *'s then copy and paste that into your signature settings. Alternatively, you could simply qoute this message (as if you were replying) and then copy the code below

It will look like this when inserted in your signature

My Flickr

Re: Flickr link

Well it works! Can’t tell you how grateful I am Steve for your patient in working me through all that.
Never ceases to amaze me how kind people on this forum are!
Now all I have to do is get downloading some photos.

Re: Flickr link

If you click on Steve's link to the group's page you should be able to see a button that says 'join this group'. Simple as that.

That’s why I didn’t join when it was first suggested, didn’t have any photos worthy of note!
It’s only after joining this forum and getting advice and encouragement, that my photos have had any structure, and I have started to think about where I point my camera after having cameras for the past 50 Years!
