Using Flickr To Post Pictures

[MattWoelfsen]

Here is a picture of my Higashidemiyako 東出都. Since Tapatalk updated, I have not been satisfied with the poor image quality of photos. So I started a Flickr account and uploaded two photos of my plant. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to post an image here via Flickr.

Any body know how you can get an image from Flickr here?

Same boat as you. I use flickr now too. You can grab links if you're using a computer to post. It's in the lower right hand side of the individual pic you want to post. Copy and paste right in to your post here.

Thanks Ryan. Let me see if this works.

Now I'm looking at this in post in Tapatalk and I don't see the link. I wonder if this can be done on an iPad.

What you really want to do is get the BBedit code from the sharing menu and drop that directly into your post on OrchidBoard. If you're looking at a regular sized view of your image, look for the icon toward the lower-right of a little box with an arrow pointing out of it. Clicking on that will bring up the sharing options, including "Grab the HTML/BBCode."

If they forced the terrible new beta version of flickr on you, it may be less than trivial to find the sharing options.

For some reason my sandboxed windows setup at work won't let me view your direct .jpg link in a browser window, but rather insists on downloading it and opening in a separate viewer app.

I don't think OB allows HTML or iframes (many forums do not), but just about everyone allows BBcode. You want to click the radio button for BBcode.

BBcode? There is an icon with squares and an arrow. When I click on that in Flickr it gives me several options. I found this BBcode.
