After my panic when failing miserably to download some photos from my Flickr account to my last “My Nieces Wedding” thread, would some kind person explain to a NUMPTY like me, how it can be done?
I had to revert back to Photobucket where you just click on the IMG tag and it automatically copies, ready for pasting.
Am I missing something in Flickr?

It's not too tricky. Go to your picture in Flickr. Click on the "all sizes" little icon above the pic. You'll then see your pic and below it a big rectangle of HTML code which you can ignore. Under that is another field containing the URL of your pic to use on this forum.

Copy that URL, go back to this forum and the post you are making, click on the little image icon and paste the URL back in.

Note that in Flickr you can select a bigger or smaller pic in that "all sizes" page.

Hope this helps.

Well I’ve done that, hope it works!

No Luck with the last one, lets try again!

Thanks Tobers, had to many HTTP// in the line.

Just thought I’d do another, now I’m on a roll!

The best and quickest way I have found to do this is with the following:

1) Install Firefox
2) Install greasemonkey
3) Install Flickr AllSizes+ script.
4) Now go to flickr, the script will now generate forum friendly code for you. All you have to do is click on the

button in flickr

A few minutes work and you can have forum friendly code anytime you need it

Thanks pixelpixel, that is really useful. I'd heard of greasemonkey but had no idea what it was! :D

ive used it and get the code but how do you paste it into the forum as directly it appears as the original code

With greasemonkey turned on load the photo page and press the all sizes button. An allsizes+ box will pop up with the flickr code in it. Press "[]", which will change the flickr html in the window to bbcode.
