Posting photos different now

mwcfarms · Mar 2, 2011

So is there some difference now on how we post photos. Tried to do it the old way with the direct link copied from Flickr and it was really tiny. Like the attached photos used to be able to attach.

The forum resizes all pics much smaller than it used to. If that's what you mean?

It was thumbnail small and was the medium size one from Flickr. Yup thats what I mean.

Maybe you posted the thumbnail version from flickr, look for the direct link or just simply right click the picture and "copy link location" and add the img code here.

I did, I used the insert image box clicked URL went to the Flickr large size copied image location and this is what I get.

Did you try the "Grab HTML/BBCode"/ bbcode/select size/ then copy the info, or extract the img code out of it?

mwcfarms · Mar 2, 2011

I just went to my Flickr brought the large image size up and then copied image location.

Trying the share this way. NOPE I keep getting invalid file path.

Actually, it's Grab HTML/BBcode...sorry 'bout that...I just edited the earlier post to not lead others astray.

So is there a certain portion I am supposed to copy and paste or the whole thing. I am technically impaired it seems with code.

Uncheck the box where you insert the image on the forum, this will fix your problem.

You can copy the whole code, and it will display the image and link back to your flickr. Just paste the code here. Or you can select out the link WITH the {IMG} tags from the whole code, and copy and paste that here. With this method, you skip clicking the insert image icon here. Don't attach it, nothing, just copy the IMG tags and url, and past it in the text box.
