A perhaps stupid question...

Post by Mysticete 2.0 »

But how does one embed pictures in their posts. I know they need to be online on a file sharing site, but from there my attempts end in fail. Do only certain sites work? I use Flickr.

Thanks in advance

What you must do is go to the share tab, click bbc code-NOT the html code, copy the code, and paste into your post.

The easiest way on Flickr is to simply right click on the desired picture and choose "Copy Image Location". Back on your post on the forum, click on the "Img" button when you are making a post, and the cursor will automatically be placed in the center of the image tag where it needs to be. Then just paste the copied image right there, and voila.


Photobucket is easier though, you just slide you cursor over the desired picture and copy the image code that automatically comes up and paste that, but if your already using Flickr it doesn't make sense to switch over.
