Attaching photos from flickr

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!

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>
