how to post from Flickr
« on: April 25, 2014, 08:58:59 PM »
So I want to finally try and post on FW again and in the interim the Flickr functions have changed several times since I last tried this. I don't want to just post a link but want to link my post to an actual image which I have on Flick. Can someone please walk me through this. Thx.

They do change it all the time and the way you post image now is to click the share button (a rectangle with an arrow)
and then the BBCode button, choose the wanted resolution and copy the link shown. Then, you paste that link in the
forum post and that's it.

800 or 640 pixels on the longer side is perfectly acceptable.
