For some time now I've noticed flickr members posting text hyperlinks to their orchid photos on flickr. I thought perhaps they didn't post image hyperllinks because the BB code didn't allow it. Finally gave it a try today and posting image hyperlinks actually does work.

Here is what I usually see posted...

Epidendrum ciliare 09-03-24 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

While it is easy just to copy and paste the flickr page URL, I think that most people would prefer if you took a couple more seconds and posted an image hyperlink instead...

Here are the steps to create an image hyperlink...

1. Click on the All Sizes link above your flickr photo and grab the photo's URL
2. Click the button and paste the photo URL into the dialogue box
3. Grab the URL for your photo page on flickr, highlight/select the image text in your message body, click the button and paste the photo page URL into the dialogue box

Here's what it should look like...

[URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/epiphyte78/3387210590/"][IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3452/3387210590_34ce6108ff.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Remember...as per flickr guidelines...the image must link back to its page on flickr.

Any questions? Feel free to use this thread to practice posting image hyperlinks.
