WTF Flicker

[DarkShadow]

My Flicker has changed to the new UI and what happen to grab the BBCode? All I see is embed and HTML but the little box has to much junk in there like Ifram picture height Size etc its pissing me off. Any help with this would be appreciated. thanks.

I cant find it either...

Try this

In the pane on the right there is an icon to Share just below the little filmstrip, it looks like a box with an arrow pointing to the top right.

Then under the social media icons you will see a little icon that looks like a pushpin, click on that then scroll down, i selected Medium for this one. Once you select a size it will stay selected. Just copy and paste that code.

WELP.

Looks like I'm gonna have to start uploading to my blog directly, because the way *that* bullsh*t is set up... is going to take way too much time.

It also appears that I am going to stop paying my yearly membership with them.

But to answer your question...

If you choose the link option and then copy the link between: "<img src=" and the quotation mark at the end of the URL, that gets you the same result.

It just takes longer and is annoying.

Ok, let the old man tell you how. In the bar to the right select the box with the arrow shooting out of the top right. That is the share photo tab. You can either share it to the listed sites or below those is a bent paperclip looking thing, the lesser than/greater than sign and the push pin. Click the push pin and you get a direct link to share in forums.

Yeah, it's the push-pin.

Someone asked the same thing two weeks ago.

 

[e.rose]

Okay, I found it, after going on a rampage on the Flickr Feedback Page...

Someone posted the answer, which is:

Click on the ellipse next to the box with the arrow coming out of it.

Click "Download/All Sizes"

Choose a size or click "View All Sizes" and it's the same page as before.

Ok, The "Pushpin" Icon gives you an URL to copy and paste on the URL line.



Then 'Uncheck' the box and the photo will load.

Huh. That's really annoying.

Test:


Edit: Okay, that works. Pretty easy, actually.

I hate these constant interface changes on so many websites for seemingly no reason. My cable company recently changed their website and it looks like it was designed by Fischer Price.

Yes the push pin did the trick but man I am glad I am not a paying customer because they really screwed this up IMO. Thanks you all, you guys saved me from the delete flicker. This was stressing me out almost went on a rampage like e.rose. I knew you guys probably went through it and would save me from breaking things in the house.:hail:

That works if you just want the link (you have to add the IMG tags) - the push-pin thing has the tags in it already and links the photo to it's page on Flickr.

Just copy and paste what's in that box and that's it. It will show the picture (you can select what size you want to show with that little drop down menu right above the selection box). Clicking on the picture (after posting it) will then take you to Flickr.

Skip the second part - just paste it right into the reply box here. Notice how the picture you posted has visible IMG tags on either side of it? Pasting it into that "add photo" block adds those. If you just have the link (from the view all sizes page) it would still work, but copying the link from the push-pin has all of that already.

Hmmm let's see just how effin' whacked this is....

"The HTML code to embed a photo in a web page that you used to find on the All Sizes page is now only in the Share menu on the photo, to the left of the More menu. We now also include BBCode! (standard message board code)There are a few cases where the code may not be available: 1) If the photo is restricted. 2) If that person has turned off "Share this" or access to original files.
The direct link to a photo file is no longer shown on the page. Per the Flickr Community Guidelines "pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr." Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this."

A MAJOR "F*C* YOU, Flickr!!!" is in order....

It's worth what you pay for it...nothing. Teats? Meet boar!

I noticed the change earlier this evening, and it was driving me out of my mind.

The answer E.Rose provided is a whole Helluva lot simpler than whatever the Hell I did...

It wasn't simple to find it, that's for sure.
