Title: How to add photos from Flickr into a post
Post by: Krell on August 30, 2013, 09:31:18 PM

I am having an issue uploading photos to the website. Are there any tech savvy folks out there who can give easy to follow directions on how to do this. I have created a Flick'r account on Yahoo and upload a couple photos there. Eventually, I would like to be able to see the actual photo in a post on the site, and not a link to my photo. I find the "share" button on my Flick'r photo but cannot get it to appear when I select the 'Insert Image' option. I'm sure I'm making a simple mistake but I can't identify it.

Get to the actual picture in Flickr.
Click that Share button at the bottom, and switch it to Grab the HTML/BBCode
Copy that
Paste in your topic
It will look something like this:

Code: [Select]

Make sure your pictures are public on Flickr or they won't appear for us. :)

Hope this helps!
