Hi,
I have just started using Flickr to upload some pictures to post online. When I try to post an image here with the [img][\img] all I get is a little square and the link does not end in a .jpg etc name. How do I link an image from Flikr? I do not find thier interface very intuitive.

I tried to upload pics directly from my drive to show the roller chassis I have and got errors for file size. I think maybe you have the same deal.

I don't think that Flickr gives you a link to an image file. They give you the code to display the image as HTML. Depending on the forum SW (not sure about this forum), you can just paste the HTLM code without the image tags. Alternately, look in the HTML code that Flickr gives you. The link to the image should be right after "src=". Just copy the line after that to where it says ".jpg" and paste that between image tags.

So if you're at the page that is like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bandwidth ... otostream/

Click on that arrow thing on the bottom right of the picture. Then select 'BBcode.' Even though the size drop down box doesn't look like it can be changed it can be. Then copy what is in the bottom box and past it into the forums.
