I can post this pic which is from my flickr account but after a certain time the option to copy url is not there. Seems to be all older pics are ok but then anything after July/August last year the option has gone. The odd thing being it has happened to pics I have already posted on this forum. Very strange and annoying, oh well.

When i I copy and paste the code over from Flickr it’s only coming up as plain text on BM. I have my Flickr account set to public and can’t think what else it might be? I’m sure it’s something at that end. 

it does at first, but when you hit submit post, the image then appears. 

Try  a test post here. 

 

also, do not try to put the Flcikr link into the 'insert image from url'  box in the lower right,   just paste the ink into the main post area.

Hi Rich, I assume you are trying to use Google Photos. From personal experience it isn't a particularly good way to host photos. There is a document on alternative hosts here:

I am able to upload my images from my new Flickr account, but the image size is small and I don't seem able to resize this in Flickr.  The original image on my laptop are !mb plus, so it seems that Flickr is shrinking them down, like this:

Which is a bit small for the average getting on a bit Britmodeller.

 

Any ideas please?

.....Bomber Field is just West of Houston, Texas. Thought to test
.....image posting with our event brochure. I like the new forum

Hi Dogsbody,

This is my first time posting on Britmodeller so I'm still finding my feet. The picture appears for me, but I've found a different way of doing it now which you might be able to see.

It's my post about the Spitfire Ia in Ready for Inspection. There are two similar posts next to each other only one is mine.

Sorry I can't figure out how to insert a link to it yet. I'd be curious to see if you can see it.

 

Keith.

either copy the address bar,  or in the top right of each post, next to 'report post' there is a < symbol,  if you hover the pointer is says 'share this post'  copy and paste that an it takes you to a specific post

you can get it to display like this by then clicking  "display as link instead" 

 

Your photos in the RFI post are showing fine as well.
