Just opened a Flickr account and am now trying to post a picture.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/189202153@N05/50088303963/in/dateposted-public/
...and I'm obviously having trouble. I can still use Facebook has a hosting sight but the
"Time Signature Expired" notification keeps deleting my photos about a week or so.
Any advice would be helpful.
TIA

WHOOHoo ! Looks like it worked.
Ken,
Clicking on the link you gave takes you to the picture. Once there, click on the picture and then click the '+' to blow it up. Right click on the blown up picture and select "inspect element". This opens an info window below the picture with links to the small and large versions of the pic.
Right click on whichever size you want to use and select 'copy link'. I used the large version with the link:
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50088303963_aaf8ae7aa3_k.jpg
Put that between the 'img' tags and the pic should show up in your post, like this:

A little more convoluted than PhotoBucket, but it works.

Glad you got it to work. Image hosting used to be more user friendly.
Ken,
Click a photo in your Flickr account to open it.
Click the Share Photo arrow icon
Click BBCode
Select the size to display from the dropdown menu. Suggest Medium (500 x 375)
Copy the code, which is highlighted in blue
Paste where you want photo to appear in your ASK THE BACH MAN FORUM post
Using the link you gave to open the photo in your Flickr account -- following is the photo

Ken,
I follow the steps as Hunt describes. It took a bit of trial and error before I got the system down in my mind.
You're right... the photo sharing sites used to be more user friendly.

Jonathan
This is why I use Fotki. Simple as can be.
Sid
Looks like I can still follow instructions. I uploaded another picture up in my original
'Test picture' post. Now maybe they won't 'disappear' in the future.
Thanks for all the help.
Ken
Hi Sid I looked at Fotki and was wondering if it allows you to do all that is necessary to put photos and video on this site? Also what membership do you use and find sufficient? Thanks, Paul
I have the lowest package they offer, the Premium S.
Costs me about $25CDN a year. I get 300GB storage and have never come anywhere near that limit.
I know I can load and link videos, but I have never tried it. I use my YouTube account for videos.
As for photo linking.....it supplies all needed codes and links and there are no rules about linking. No watermarks, no size limits.
I have been really happy with them.
Sid
Thanks Sid I will give it a try.
Hi Sid, I joined Fotki but am not finding it easy. I have been trying to post a photo which I reduced the size to 98 kb but when I try to attach I get a notice that the upload folder is full. I could not find a way to reduce the original size of the photo on Fotki so did it somewhere else. Also the only way I could find to get the old photo on Fotki was to email it to my account. Also can you download new photos from my camera to Fotki? I hope you can show me the way. Thanks Paul
You don't use the 'Attach:' function to post pics, you put the url of the picture location between [ i m g ] {/i m g ] tags in the post. You can add the tags without typing them out by clicking the icon below the I in the "Add BBC tags:" above.
Len
Will try to post photo
[DSCN2282]http://old photo from last year have since expanded[/img]
Well that didn't work!
No, that didn't work.
Once you upload your photos to an album, go to that album and view the photos. At the bottom of each photo is a selection box. Tick the selected photos then click "show links" at the left.
Use those links to paste between this board's IMG tags.
Sid

Watch where your tags start and end.
Nice layout BTW.
Sid
(https://images43.fotki.com/v329/photos/3/4102033/16274762/DSCN22822-vi.jpg)
How did that happen? I didn't see a photo when I posted it.
You had the bracket in the wrong place. Look just before the "https". This "[" should be right in front of "/img]" at the end.
This is what you have "[img][https://images43.fotki.com/v329/photos/3/4102033/16274762/DSCN22822-vi.jpg
/img]".
It's easy to mess it up when you copy and paste and don't get it in the right place. I've done it before, too.
Nice layout, sir.
When you get the photo link down, would love to see some close-ups, and a description of your lift-out.
Regards,
Jonathan
Terry just to be clearer ---you don't include the https within the brackets just everything else. Not really clear what to include --there are so many symbols in the photo ID. Is it possible for someone to underline what to include? Thanks, Paul BTW Jon I have a lot more photos of my layout I hope to show. That test photo was from last year and alot has been added and changed. As you all have gather by now I am not comfortable with computers and such. Sorry.
Don't worry. You'll get it. You're almost there. The "https" part must be between the brackets like this. I put spaces in there on purpose. Don't use the spaces.
[ img]https://images43.fotki.com/v329/photos/3/4102033/16274762/DSCN22822-vi.jpg[ /img]".
Thanks Terry but the only thing I see that is different is the " mark at the end of the string of numbers and letters.
Another photo showing the soft edge I created around about 80% of the layout by removing the fascia board. It helps bring the model world and the real world together.
[img][https://media.fotki.com/2v2HPkBLGx6f34f.jpg/img]
You have to remove the [ from in front of https://...... The [ has to go in front of /img]. Like this [/img].

So close ;D
Sid
Boy am I messin' up this thread. How did you do that Sid? Also can you download photos to the Fotki site from the camera?
Like I said earlier......you have it right.....just watch where the brackets are placed. These things [ ]
Sid
Graywolf, it's all about 'test' pictures. Glad to have more people jump in.
Ken
graywolf,
Sid placed the link to the photo between SMF Bulletin Board Code open and close image tag
I am placing the following in a code box so you can see the code.
[img] is the open tag
[/img] is the close tag
Entering the following to display the photo
[img] https://media.fotki.com/2v2HPkBLGx6f34f.jpg[/img]
However, the software automatically adds the default width and height attributes coding. So the code that actually displays the photo you see in this forum is
[img width=1000 height=750]https://media.fotki.com/2v2HPkBLGx6f34f.jpg[/img]
This is code to sized to 500 x 375 and center your photo
[center][img width=500 height=375]https://media.fotki.com/2v2HPkBLGx6f34f.jpg[/img][/center]

At the risk of really confusing you...
I never use those "img" tags.
I right-click on the photo's url (web address) on the photo sharing website. Then select "copy".
Next, on the forum thread... I right-click where I want the photo.
Select paste.
The photo appears AFTER I hit "post".
Regards,
Jonathan

Jon,
Yep, that should really confuse graywolf because you did not tell him the full content of the "copy".
What you copy is more than the photo's url, the copy also includes the "img" tags. Open one of your post with photo in it and click on the icon to Insert Quote to see what was actually pasted.
Both Flickr and Fotki automatically include the img tags when you use the feature in their website to share a photo in a forum.
I was afraid of that, sorry.
But, like gray wolf, I am not very electronic media savvy. Pretty good with Word and Excel--other mediums are a little mysterious. The only way I manage to post photos here is to memorize some simple steps like "right-click", "copy", and "paste". It took forever for me to figure out there is a "share" button on Flickr. Nothing tells you the curve up/right button means "share".
I get graywolf's confusion. I remember my initial confusion.
Apologies if I made it worse.
Regards,
Jonathan
I'm lucky......my wife has spent 35 years working IT Departments. When I have problems, I ask her ;D.
Sid
Mean while back at the ranch...the Lone Ranger disguised in Flickr gets uploaded as a "test picture"...
Tonto, knowing this, copied his link location...

Magic...pure magic....
I still haven't gotten used to the upload to Flickr. I'm gonna have to practice a little more.
