Go to "Download/All Sizes."

Click "View All Sizes" in the dialog box.

Choose the size you want (ex. Medium 800).

Right click on image (for Mac, Control+Click).

In the dropdown menu choose "Open Image in New Tab."

This will give you the image with the "http://farm4.staticflickr.com/..." address.

Post that web address inside the brackets (from the RFF comment toolbar).

Done.
 
Its still there - albeit having to deal with that ugly interface. In the attached image, click the icon the overlay drop down box emanates from, click the HTML radio button, select the dimensions from the drop down menu (top line), copy code from text box, done! However, given its the whole embedded linking code, I just paste it into the comment box and recopy the part I want <img src=....

No, as mentioned before:
- View the photo.
- Click the 'share this photo' icon (box with arrow pointing out).
- Click the thumb-tack icon.
- Choose your preferred size.
- Copy and paste the generated BBCode.

Just using the photo's URL breaks flickr's community guidelines which require one to link back to the photo's page on flickr.

Also if you append '?details=1' to your photostream URL then you can have the old thumbnails-only view; and doing the same with '/detail' on a photoset's URL will give a similar result.
 
Still there (but you have to be logged in) -- just click on the "box with the arrow" (it says "More Ways to Share" when you hover over it), and then under "Grab the HTML/BBCode"
 
Well that's funny...I have also been forced into "Beta" on my PC, but the web browser on my phone is showing the old version...I'm glad everyone has now told me how to post photos the new way.

Re: iPad Photo Posting

Here's how I post photos to RFF from Flickr via the iPad:
  • Click on the photo on Flickr, on a separate browsing tab in Safari.
  • Click on the "more ways to share" button on the lower right of the image.
  • Select "original" resolution.
  • Select/copy the entire code string.
  • Open the Notes app on the iPad.
  • Paste the code string into Notes.
  • Highlight just the part of the code that contains the image URL, beginning with "h t t p" and ending with ". j p g"
  • Copy the URL.
  • Back on the RFF window in Safari, click on the "Insert Image" icon and paste the image URL into the dialog box.
Note: by altering the last letter of the image URL just prior to the ". j p g" you can vary the image size.
Note: this method seems to work regardless of Flickr's site maintenance, as they did the same thing a few months ago, after which I discovered this method.

PS: In case you're curious, here's a list of all the suffix letters to the Flickr JPG URLs and their corresponding widths:
_o = original width
_b = large width
_c = medium 800 wide
_z = medium 640 wide
no suffix = medium 500 wide
_n = small 320 wide
_m = small 240 wide
_t = thumbnail 100 wide
_q = square 150 wide
_s = square 75w
