How to Post Flicker Pics?

[isurus79]

So the format is totally different for Flicker now. Does anyone know how to post pics on OB without just posting the links?

I quit Flickr after they changed to the new format and went to Ipernity. Would have been able to help before, but not now.

I saw that! The new format has worked well for me until today. They seem to have implemented new changes and I can't grab the pics.

Click on your picture in your photostream on flickr. Below the resulting larger copy is an icon that looks like a little box with an arrow coming out of the upper right corner. Click on that icon, choose 'Grab the HTML/BBCode.' Select the BBCode radio button and the desired size (original size is good for posting here) and highlight and copy the resulting BBCode. Paste the code into your post on OB.

See that's what I used to do, but it doesn't give me the option to 'Grab the HTML/BBCode.' Hmmmm....I'm guessing its user error and I'm just doing it right. I clicked the "try our new format" button the other day and this is what I get!! lol

Hmmm, that's odd. I thought mine changed to a new format a couple months back, unless there's an even newer new format that I haven't been subjected to yet. Maybe they're beta-testing further changes and the button you clicked hooked you up with that?

Oh, indeed that's what it is:

Oddly, my flickr doesn't yet have that button on any of the photo pages, so I'm so far immune from trying their new 'improvements.'

Flickr Photopage Beta: Hot (1927 ideas)

it's missing an awful ot of feautres that the old photopage had, in no particular order:

doesn't show all groups,
no way to get bb code,
no link to map,
no flickr toolbar,
no hover/drop down menu on buddy icons,
no pucntuation/spaces in tags,
no view of which sets the photo is in,
no link to see who has faved the photo,
no machine tags,
only one option in the ... menu - delete photo,
no way to add a tag,
no way to see link to a gallery the photo may be in

The only change I see from Jayfar's description is I had to click where I want to post the picture, then I copied the link and returned to post it into the thread.

Previously I was able to do what Jayfar said, go to the area where I wanted to post and paste it.

Any idea how to get it back to the "new" version and not the "future new" version where I can't grab the BBCode?

I tried to follow this, but couldn't.

Are you using the beta version and grabbing the code from there?
