How To Post Images From Flicker

halcon

I'm confused. I've tried the options Flicker offers but none seem to post here. What's the trick?

What have you tried that isn't working?

I don't have a Flickr account but I just did some looking around to see if I could find the URL for a jpg on a Flickr image.

To post an image here referencing an image on flickr you will need a URL for the image, one that ends in .jpg. That is the URL that is pasted into the image URL from the drop image file dropdown.

I went to the Flickr explore page. I clicked on a photo, then I clicked the arrow key to share the photo. I selected the BBCode tab. Within the BBCode is a section between [img] and [/img] tags. The URL between those tags should be usable to paste an image here.

There must be a more straightforward method of grabbing that URL but I'm not familiar enough with Flickr to find it (and since I don't have an account there it's possible that the easier method isn't available to me).

Go to 'Embed' and you'll see this:

<a data-flickr-embed="true"  href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/imagesinthebackcountry/14469940883/in/album-72157645275860683/" title="Fire in the Sky"><img src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3865/14469940883_3e46e8d6f3_b.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Fire in the Sky"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Copy the <a> and 'img' part:

<a data-flickr-embed="true"  href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/imagesinthebackcountry/14469940883/in/album-72157645275860683/" title="Fire in the Sky"><img src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3865/14469940883_3e46e8d6f3_b.jpg" width="800" height="533" alt="Fire in the Sky"></a>

Just to add, I don't use my flickr account to post images here. Since the forum switch, using BB Code is not possible, which to a lot of users, it's a pain in the butt.

Thanks for that Mike. Now I see how it's done.

Guess I should have just said remove this part, but I wasn't thinking:

<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Glad you got it!
