Bullbasket 10,698 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Tried this morning, for the first time since the upgrade, to upload photos to an RFI thread, but all I'm getting is a link. I've never had this before. Also, I tried to add a link to the WIP and all I got was ....a link. The photos are hosted on Village Photos, and I've never had any problems before. Anyone else experiencing this? John. Link to post Share on other sites
alt-92 2,910 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Are those links prefixed with http:// or https:// ? Link to post Share on other sites
planecrazee 1,011 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Hi I'm having the same problem with photos hosted through flickr. They are prefixed with https:// Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Kris Link to post Share on other sites

Bullbasket 10,698 Posted October 31 Author Share Posted October 31 And as if by magic, it's working again. It was definitely nothing to do with the security tag, because it wouldn't work on the link to my WIP either. John. Link to post Share on other sites

DaveyGair 3,803 Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 I've just had problems with my usual Flickr 'copying link and pasting' in a new GB thread, they won't load up, even on threads that are up and running using photos I've already uploaded. Strange? Davey. Link to post Share on other sites
dogsbody 8,609 Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 I know I've been having an issue posting Flickr images on another forum that I visit occasionally. But as it's one of those TapaCrap based forums, it doesn't really surprise me. Chris Link to post Share on other sites

Chris I've now managed to copy and paste the Flickr photo links into my GB thread via my rubbish Fire 10 and it's worked fine. I still can't do the same on my laptop (Windows 10) which has worked for me ever since I went to Flickr after the photobucket(?) (whatever it was!) carry on!

Ray S 3,873 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 This is a test from Flikr. I used the 'Share' option, and then when I got to the 'Share 1 photo to:' box, I used the 'share' rather than 'embed', 'e-mail' or 'bb code'. If the image is here, it worked! Hope this helps, Ray 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 2,389 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 FYI, postimages were having problems Thursday, causing timeouts of ther image loads. If you looked at the browser console or error log, you would see "504" errors being thrown. Link to post Share on other sites
ArnoldAmbrose 1,844 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Gidday, I use Flikr but I have to use it slightly differently for The Airfix Tribute Forum (ATF) and for here. When I wish to include a photo in a post I select the photo, click on a curvy arrow bottom right screen. For the ATF I copy from a URL (?) in a window in the centre of my screen, but for here I have to copy from an address line (my wording) at the second top line of my screen. Then to the post and 'paste'. That seems to work fine for me. HTH. Sorry about the non-technical wording and jargon, technology isn't my thing. Regards, Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites
DaveyGair 3,803 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Ok, I tried that, click on the photo, go to share and highlight the source in the box, copy it and paste here. It should show in this reply? Davey. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I just posted a picture using the 'share' option and it worked, wonder why it stopped doing the 'copy and paste' I used to use in my Flickr photostream, it worked a few days ago! Davey.

ArnoldAmbrose 1,844 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Gidday, I've posted this as a trial, and it looks like copy and paste still works for me here. It looks like there are several ways of attaching photos, and I guess we each do what works for us individually. With my extremely limited knowledge and understanding of modern computer and on-line methods (I'm a neanderthal) if I have a procedure that works for me I stick with that. I mean no criticism or disrespect to those that do things differently. HTH. Regards to all, and stay safe, Jeff. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
dogsbody 8,609 Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Are you guys using a PC or a hand-held device? Using my PC to post Flickr, it's click the bent arrow, then using the BBCode option on the white box that appears, I right-click on the coding in that bar, click COPY, then paste it into the topic/reply box. Works slicker than snot on a doorknob! Chris Link to post Share on other sites
