stevej60 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) The Staff member at Flickr seems to be pointing the finger at this and other forum's which have the problem,I'm fortunate that PB still work's for me despite the further annoyance of that damn e-mail confirmation every single time you want to upload a photo.I've now tried the four other forums I use to varying degeees and only Bm not working.

Looks like Embed doesn't work, and BBCode does. So use BBCode, and DON'T use Microsoft Edge, which has been proven by @Dads203 not to work.

Please moan at Flickr first and foremost, although why Embed worked in the past, I have no idea because it isn't BBCode (which stands for Bulletin Board Code), and is in fact HTML, which isn't allowed (and always hasn't been allowed) to be posted on the forum anyway.

Mike Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 There is a super FAQ on posting pics from Flickr that was written up by @Roy vd M. and still holds good. Follow that and don't use Edge, and you should be able to post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Thank's for the link Mike,I feel that toilet is too dark for FS2013 and maybe the panel lines on the tiling a little overdone,that said a fine example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Oh? Yau sure? I don't have the app (for obvious reasons), so I've got no way of looking.... unless I download it quickly now while I can still remember my username and password to Flickr.

Mike Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 A reply back from Invision: Quote Hello, There is no way in which embed would work without the ability to embed HTML. You should simply be copying the URL from the address bar, and then pasting it into the editor. The rest of the process is automatically done by the system. Kind Regards, Marc Stridgen To restate, we don't have the facility to post in HTML and never have done - far too much of a security risk for the injection of malicious code.

Bill.B Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I’ve sorted my particular issue. I’m using a free App called ‘Shares for Flickr.’ on my iPhone and it copies a pukka URL and embeds the picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I've started up the Android Flickr app, uploaded a pic, tapped the pic & chosen the share icon, which gives you all the social media options, but with Copy URL at the top. Tapped that and now pasting it into this post below: https://flic.kr/p/EyGEcU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 That's not a url that works automatically. Let's try the Insert Other Media button. Nope. That doesn't work. https://flic.kr/p/EyGEcU Nah. The Flickr app doesn't paste a url that is readable by the forum. Seems the mobile Flickr app is a bit of a dead loss when it comes to forums. You need to make your feelings known to them. They need to add the option for a link that has .jpg or .png at the end in order to work with the largest modern forum software available. Seems a bit remiss of them really.

Mike Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 That's settled then. The desktop (website) works to copy BBCode, while the mobile app doesn't have that facility. Time to ask them to add it. Get in touch with Flickr, make your feelings known, and also review it on the Appstore and Playstore, marking it down for not having BBCode in the share options, or at least the ability to link to an actual URL with .jpg or .png at the end. That's the solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi, I've read in Wiki about BBCode and how to use it, but apparently I cannot use it properly. Anybody knows where is trick? Or simply - how to use it? I do not see such option Just test: https://www.flickr.com/photos/152188754@N05/39116472461/in/dateposted-public/ Regards J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit remiss of them really. I think you've jumped to a conclusion that's not quite right. Pasting the URL from Flickr ALWAYS WORKED IN THE PAST. It just stopped a couple of days ago. Now, whether Flickr did something to screw this up, or a Windows update (unlikely since iOS folks are complaining about the same thing), or something changed in the forum software, I have no clue. But it's a moot point since there is a method that works. Therefore, Flickr can indeed creating a URL that is readable by the forum. My environment is Windows 10, Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. The following method works in all of them. 1. Click the download button from the picture display and select "View All Sizes": 2. You'll get a new screen. Right click on the photo and select "Copy Image Location". 3. Paste this into your Britmodeller post and the photo magically appears: 4. If you don't want to use the image at its original size, just right click on any of the available sizes listed and you'll get a resized picture displayed. Copy Link Location from that, paste into BM, and you've got a smaller image: All of this is done with mouse clicks, no need to strip out any extraneous BBCode (which I always screw up). My examples above were done in Windows 10 and Firefox. As has always been the case, the different browsers have different semantics. In Chrome, right click the image and select "Copy Image Address". In Edge, right click the image and select "Copy". I've tested all of these methods, and they seem to work each time. Even in Edge.

Mike Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Bill - my comment about not being able to create URLs readable by the forum relates to the mobile app's lack of functionality, not desktop use. They're the ones that are having the most trouble, it seems. Plus, some people have been saying that copying Embed code over used to work, and now doesn't. I'm doubtful whether that has ever been the case, but as I've never used Flickr until today, I don't know for sure. What I do know is that on the desktop, you can copy the BBcode over for a simple solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
