Testing Flickr

I can't figure out how to upload pictures from the flickr app.
When I try to share stuff, it only puts them out on flickr, lol.

Click on the photo. See that little arrow in the bottom right corner that sorta swooshes to the right. Click on that, select BB Code, then copy and paste it here.

I don't see any red arrow on mine.

I just rage quit it...

On mine it's not red either:

It's the "share" arrow, above. In my Flickr account, that group of icons shows up on the bottom of the window that has the photo you clicked on and want to post.

That's what mine looked like, but when I hit it and the options came up, the only logical one to me was "URL", and that didn't work.

The Flickr option that works for me on that screen is BB code
Just make sure your TGT post/Reply is using the BB Code editor when you paste the BB Code generated link in, not the rich text editor (formatted).




Not a big fan of Flickr, but much faster once you get the hang of it than using tinypic, which was my goto before the forum software change.

Google is No go

Google is No go

Yep. Google always has to control the show, makes it difficult to do it any other way than their's, and is infamous for suddenly breaking something good that works...

I don't get it

See post #25 - 27. Use the BB Code option on the Share arrow, and then paste that link in your TGT post. Might want to trim some of the extra link crap that Flickr adds. IOW, (url=https...] to [/url]) that contains stuff you don't want to post in your message, like your Flickr name.

I don't know what any of that means. I know how to copy and paste stuff. I'm on a cell phone using the flicker app that I just got. I dont see the bb code option whatever that means. When I click on a picture and hit share it gives me other apps to share it to or a link to share. I don't see the https or anything in the link.

Try this page in your phone's web browser and see if it works for you:

http://www.fatreg.net/flickrtools/flickr-bbcode.html

If it works on your phone's OS, it should allow you to simply copy the link that Flickr gives you to share the photo, then paste that into the bbcode generator above; you can then copy and paste the generated bbcode into your TGT message.

Works for me on an iPhone using either Chrome or Safari, if that don't work for you, sorry ... I tried.

Test again

Damn Looks like the link won't work with app of my phone. Going to try something else.

Looks like a couple of my Flickr photos have disappeared from this thread. I don't get it. Trying one more time.
