How to post pic's from Flickr
I've noticed some threads come up about people having problems posting photo's to the site here. I have always found it pretty easy, but I figure I can show others (with pictures
)how I do it, and maybe we can get some more pics of some kick ass Jeeps here! Generally, this process should work the same way from other 3rd party sites (used to work the same from photobucket, back when I used them) as well.
Lets get started.
First off, get your pic on the host site. I'm not telling ya how to do this. You should be able to figure it out. Figure out the settings on the host sight as well.
Here I'm just logged in. To get to my personal page I need to click the "YOU" icon where the little hand is pointing at the top left.
Now I'm at my main page. From here I can check out and/or click on any photo going back to when I first joined. I can also click any of those options at the top of the screen to direct me somewhere faster than going through the list of 400+ photo's. I'll click the Albums.
When I was in my albums page, I clicked the 1990 Grand Wagoneer album. That lead me to here. I've made it to the last page of the album and I'm looking at the latest photo's uploaded.
I have clicked a photo. Real crappy picture here folks!
Here's where the magic starts. Look to the bottom right of the picture, and we have some icons to click. If you hove the mouse over them, it will show the functions. You'll want the arrow (which is share)
If you clicked the "share photo" it will bring up this box. Look at the top right of the box. You want to make sure it is set to BBCode to be able to post to a web forum.
Now choose the size. The size options may be different to what I have available. It depends on the original file size when you uploaded the photo to Flickr. I typically choose 1024X769. That's what's being used here on this page for the tutorial. You can use what ever size you like, but people usually aren't too thrilled if you make your pictures bigger than the natural IFSJA webpage's width. I usually wont go over the next size up from what I'm using right now.
Now you right click the link and the little menu will come up. Select copy to copy the link.
Now lets go back to IFSJA. Were making a post here. Just right click in your post that's being composed, and click past.
Now you have this big ass link. You can leave that link as is, but I like to trim it down. Picture will show up perfectly fine either way you decide to go.
Trimming the link.
I will trim everything before the [img] and everything after the [/img]. Trimming the last part will take your name and Flickr website page link off of the pic. Trimming the first part will make the picture un-linkable to the individual photo page on Flickr, making it un-clickable. It's not necessary, just something I do.
There, now it's all cleaned up and I'm ready to post.
SUCCESS
See, it's not all that hard at all! Now that your at this point you can play and experiment some with it. Sometimes spacing in a post needs work so pics aren't right on top of each other or what-ever. Now that your at this point, post some Photo's of your cool old Jeeps!
Damn, I really need to clean my computer screen
