How are you doing this to make only visible the image you want to post and not the entire album or camera roll ?

Hi Carles,

If you check out this thread here

And scroll down a little I put together a guide showing how to use the Flickr links directly rather than through the interface.

Basically log into Flickr & go into the image you want to share and click on the "bendy arrow" in the bottom right.

Select the option for BBcode (top right of the pop up)

Select the size you want from the drop down.

Then copy the code that shows up in the display box - copy that into the forum post and hopefully that'll work.
Cheers, Neil

Hi Neil.

Many thanks for your quick reply.
I was able to post them already, but if you click on the picture this may re direct you on the Flickr account and from there you are able to see the rest of collection in there. Not sure if this is the right way or should be better to have the single picture with no "clickable" option on it..

Can see them on this post...

P.D. I´ve been many times on your town when assisting to RAF Fairford .... what a good times,....

Cheers!

Yes we are hoping to get back to RIAT this year too :)

It was great to see the Spanish Harriers a few years ago - we really miss that aircraft over here.
Cheers, Neil

Why did they not continue with the harrier type plane it did seem to have a lot of advantages ?

Having a link back to Flickr is the default (and only behavior). Let me look into adding an option that doesn't include the linkback.

There is now an option for including the link in the Flickr Integration. If the "Link?" option is checked a link back to Flickr will be included. If not, just the image is posted.

Edit: I will eventually get it tied into the main UCP settings so that the default can be unchecked. I wanted to get the base functionality uploaded first.

Yep it did and there was no immediate replacement until the F-35B sort of filled the capability several years later.

Think it just came down to cost in the end like most things do.

Regards.
CArles.
When you're in Flickr, find the image you want and click on it or press/touch the image so it's the only thing visible. Somewhere around it there should be a curved, right pointing arrow. Hit/click that and some options should appear. One of the options will be BBCode. Choose that. Now touch the line of code in the code bar. Copy that. Come back to the forum or wherever you're posting and paste it there.

Now sometime and someplaces will let you use the Embed option, but those are few and far between these days.

Hi all

Trying to link my Flickr to this but when I click on the user control panel I can't see what I'm supposed to be choosing to do it? Any ideas?

Even following the guide in the previous reply doesn't work. I don't get a bbcode option. And if I do copy the image url it shows every pic on my flickr which includes other models and not just the single pic I'd like.

The most common issues with setting up the Flickr integration is the email address being different or security permissions. Were you able to determine your NSID?
