Posting pictures from Flickr
Unlike PhotoBucket and ImageShack, Flickr deliberately hid the URL of the pics, maybe to prevent hotlinking to them. Anyway, here are the steps needed to be able to post Flickr pics on a forum.
Unlike PhotoBucket and ImageShack, Flickr deliberately hid the URL of the pics, maybe to prevent hotlinking to them. Anyway, here are the steps needed to be able to post Flickr pics on a forum.
- Open the page where the pic is located.
- Right-button click the pic and you will see a selection of resolution to choose from. I recommend the Medium 500 setting so that page load up will not slow down but of course you can use the other also. Now click it and it will take you to the pic's page.
- Right-button click the image and select "Copy Image Location."
- Go to your forum post and click on the "Insert Image" icon. This open up a panel asking for the URL.
- Use Cntrl+V or Paste (right-button + paste) to write down the URL of the pic.
- Voila! You now have the pics included in your post.
