Hi guys...

Having problems inserting images from the new Flickr site to here.

I can get the image link to show, but not the image etc.

I click here on insert image from the web BUT...which Flickr code do I now use now that it has changed...

I get HTML and BB codes bit neither seem to work...do I have to cut part of the BB code out and use only a section of it please...

For example this is the BB code for an image...

DSC_2131 by Ray Guselli, on Flickr

This is the HTML code.

<a href=" " title="DSC_2131 by Ray Guselli, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7137/7115794285_9e81da353e_h.jpg" width="1600" height="1065" alt="DSC_2131"></a>

This is the embed HTML code

<iframe src=" " width="1600" height="1065" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>

Can anyone help with which or what part to use please if I want to display an image here by using the usual "insert image from web" option

Many thanks

Ray

Hi Ray, to insert pictures from the web you have to use the command "insert image from web"!

Like this:

7115794285_9e81da353e_h.jpg


from the BB code you need to copy this into the box "insert image from web":

7115794285_9e81da353e_h.jpg
[/url]

You copy the link without the image tag! From https to .jpg. That's it.

In Flickr, go to the photo you want to insert in your DPReview post. Click on the share icon beside that photo. A window will pop up that looks something like this:



ab8b51abe3ed4cb093fee6490516982a.jpg

Click on the size dropdown and select the size of photo you want to insert. In the example above Medium is selected.

Then click on HTML button below the share code.

Then scroll to the right and find the tag that starts with <img src= and copy the url of the file between the " " - the url will end with .jpg

Then on the DPReview post click on insert image from web, and insert the copied url.

Remember to select your size first, if you don't, the default is a small thumbnail.

I'm not savvy enough to understand why, but I am old enough to remember that it used to be MUCH easier!
 
Most folks here are familiar with Ray's incredible smudge paintings. But have you seen his Automotive album? If not, I encourage you to go and look - amazing!!! Just click on his Flickr link and click on albums and then click on the automotive one. It's definitely a must see.

I choose the view all sizes option, then pick the size that I want to share here and right-click on the image and hit properties to get the link. Been doing this for Flickr images for quite a while now. :)

Well, I thought I had it but it still didn't work. It goes into a loop when adding the url. Here is what I start with for the url:

<a href=" " title="costa_rica_0319 copy2 by Ralph Ramirez, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7424/14092005156_4c1fa4af86_h.jpg" width="1600" height="1060" alt="costa_rica_0319 copy2"></a>

and this is what I end up with:

What did I do wrong?.........Ralph

Click on the picture you want to post here.

Now right click and choose the size, say Large 1600.

Once that view is loaded, right click on the image again and choose Save Image Address. Paste that into your DPR post via the usual options (Insert image from web, etc.) It saves the web URL ending in .jpg, even though that's not what shows up in your browser. (This is on an iMac with Safari.)

Voila!
