Posting photos from Flickr

[12 Volt Man]

Some of you use Flickr ( http://www.flickr.com ) to host photos as I do. You may or may not know that in their terms of service, it requires you to link back to the "source page" when you post a picture. It is a tedious process to post pictures oh PHPbb forums like ours and have the picture link back to their source page.

I found a link that someone created that allows you to quickly post Flickr photos and comply with their terms of service.

Step One: go to your Flickr source page for the photo you want to use.
example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/12voltman/3000976441/

Step Two: click on "all sizes" link located on top of your picture.

Step Three: click on "medium" link again located on top of your picture.

Step Four: click on the html code below the medium picture to highlight the code. Right click and hit copy (or use ctrl+c).

Step Five: paste the code into your post on this forum (right click then paste or ctrl+v)

Step Six: highlight the code you have just pasted, then click on the "flickr" button (located above the field you type in when making a post).

The resulting code will look something like this:

Code: Select all

[flickr]<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/12voltman/3000976441/" title="A successful hunt by 12voltman, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3202/3000976441_7a7dd54a78.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="A successful hunt" /></a>[/flickr]

Then your embedded photo will look like this......
