Forgive me while I mess about

[absolutelycurtains]

After seeing jayjays instructions on how to upload pics from picassa I'm going to see if I can upload them the same way from my flickr account...I'd like to start a photo album here if I can upload them withoput having to click on them to see the pics.

off we go then....sorry for messing about, but I have to try it.

[absolutelycurtains]

bu**er I'll have to try again later....for some reason the share and actions buttons on flickr aren't working at the mo.

Hi Abs, the sandbox HERE is the place you want to be to try out posting pics or general mucking about experimenting with Proboards.

Thanks Perpy.

I can mess about without embarrasing myself now ##
there are so many share options on flickr I can see lot's of blank posts coming up in this thread #icon_rofl#

Abs, have you got a code option starting with as that's the code you need to post pics in threads.

However, if you are going to set up a photo album, to put pics in your album, you need to use a "direct link" (URL).

[Perpetua]

Have you got a Photobucket account AC, it's dead easy to post a pic on the forum, using that I find, only 4 code options.

Plus there's a photo editing facility on there as well.

OK Abs, to post a pic from Flickr into a thread, you need to use "Grab the BBC code"

However, i can't find a link that works in the photo albums

[alanfinal]

I think with most of these photo sites you need to make sure your album/piccies are public or they wont work on a forum

Perpy I can't use any other photo sharing website, I'm with Getty on flickr and a lot of my images are licensed, photo sharing websites are renowned for having images pinched from them rendering images usless for an exclusive rights sale

I'll give that a go thanks again Chrissie, I'll have to have a mess around and see what I can do about an album.

Thanks Alan, my images are public, have to be so Getty can take what they want.
