Are you using a PC or a hand-held device?

Hi chris I'm using my iPad which had no issues before. I have even opened a new yahoo and Flickr account but still it's not working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I was just wondering. I use a PC and I haven't had any problems. I'll have to try my IPad to see how that works now.

Damn, got excited for a minute then, just downloaded a flickr  app and tried a pic but no luck. Have been a member here for a while and haven't had the nerve to post a pic but was happy with my latest Wingnut Wings build so gave it a try, will try again later as I only have a tab at the moment and it's difficult

So, you’re using a handheld devise. When copying an image from Flickr,touch the little right-pointing arrow on the bottom right corner, after you open the selected image on Flickr. In the small window that opens, touch the COPY URL option. Come back here and touch somewhere in the reply box. When the option bar appears, touch PASTE. Give it a moment and the image should appear, like this.

I hear ya! I mostly use my PC for visiting here, so I'm a bit slow when it comes to using my IPad. I was trying it in my above posting but it took me 5 minutes to remember how to use Flickr on the IPad and to post that picture. I'm not so much a luddite as I'm old and forgetful.

 

I see your pictures now. They are a good size for here. Nice looking model, too.

I'm getting old was well. Or maybe not getting as I actually am old 😉

 

I think my posting problem was I didn't have the pics in my flickr account on a public setting. Anyhow it seems good now, just have to take better pics and post them in the RFI section.

 

Many thanks for your help, all the best,  Martin

Ok, I get an error message saying that the image cannot be embedded because there is no image at that URL,  except there bloody well is, and if you click on the link, you can see it...

 

Help?

 

Edit: using Android

Try uploading that image again. I think something might have gone wrong in uploading because I can't grab a link either. The previous picture in your map, that of a watch, can be shown without problem:

If you want me to delete that image here, let me know.

Let's try again,  there was a padlock icon on the thumbnail,  so I messed about with my privacy settings... 

 

 

 

Woo hoo!

I may be wrong, but I believe you have to have the settings set to public view before they will work.
