setting up and managing a Flickr account - How please?

Post by andygolfer » Tue Jun 17, 2014 9:41 am

Can somebody help an ageing luddite please! :blush:

I'm trying to set up a flickr account as i'm told (and have read that) the quality is better than photobucket. I've done the basics and have an account and have worked out how to upload photos (I have even set up an album but if I have more than 1 album I may run into problems getting the pics in the right album - watch this space!) but am having problems working out how to post them on the forum as photos rather than links.

I've fiddled about and it seems that I need to use BBC code as I got that to work once but more by luck than anything - I'm now having trouble finding the BBC code again so can anybody please point me in the right direction as to if this is the correct code to use and also remind me how to find it :blush: :blush:

then the next question which might set me on my way properly - once I have an album set up with a few photos in it, do I have to copy each code individually or can I upload a batch together into a topic as I can on Photobucket, any help whatsoever will be most welcome thanks.

To obtain the BBCode do this:

* View the photo you want share.
* Click on the share button (a rectangle with an arrow pointing top-right).
* Click on BBCode.
* Use the dropdown to select an appropriate size.

I'm pretty certain there's not a quick way to share all the images in an album.
