What is the preferred method of attaching personal photos from flickr to a message?
 
Colyn, you can use the IMG tags. Copy the address of the Flickr photo and enclose it between
Code: 
[IMG]...[/IMG]
.

Here's an example:

HTML: 
[IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2320/2353971389_4fde4e2384.jpg?v=0 [/IMG]

Which gives:

2353971389_4fde4e2384.jpg


As far as I can see, including the ?v=0 behind does not make a difference.

Cheers!

I'll just add that the unique addresses of individual images in flickr are found by pressing the "All Sizes" button above any of your images.
 
Actually, flickr terms of service state that if you're going to show the image off-site you should have a live link back to the flickr original.

Remember! Flickr Community Guidelines specify that if you post a Flickr photo on an external website, the photo must link back to its photo page.

This is done like so: [ url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/mfunnell/2249386590/ ]
URL]
[ /url]
(spaced to show the tags)

giving something like this:


(if you click on the photo it will take you to its flickr page)

Here's what I do. I click on an image in flickr to "open" it. I then right click on that image, and select "copy." I then go over to RFF, and "paste" the image into my post. I know there are other ways to do this, but this method seems to work pretty well.
 
Hmmmnnn . . . I was trying to link the image from blogspot, where the photo is posted. I suppose this may not work with blogspot?

thanks for the help.

I think with blogspot you need to put in "uncooked" HTML tags. If you press the "all sizes" button on your flickr photo it should give you sample HTML to cut-and-paste in the first option box under the photo. The code will look something like:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mfunnell/2249386590/" title="pitt_street_busker-3-web by mfunnell, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2077/2249386590_a432af5d9f_o.jpg" width="640" height="429" alt="pitt_street_busker-3-web" /></a>

Is there a quick way to do this that doesn't involve manually linking the URL and the image with tags? The html Flickr provides doesn't seem to work on the forum.

Okay, I had this problem this morning posting to a different thread, so let me test what I just read:

Some cameras I own from flickr:

no freaking luck!

Matthew, where did you get this part of the string? I have the first part
from my picture on flickr, but don't know where this comes from.

I'm slightly confused, all I did was quote mfunnells post. Was it the string he posted that you're referring to?

I would like to know if there's a painless way to turn this html supplied by Flickr into a format that the forum software understands:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthewallen/2514910444/" title="The Door by MajorMantra, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2066/2514910444_879cfc4f0d_o.jpg" width="498" height="800" alt="The Door" /></a>
