Can anyone help I have given up with Photobucket (can not upload any pic from mobile to pc to forum) so gone over to Flicker but how do you get pics from Flicker to the forum.I'm thinking of stopping post all together it's just not worth the hassle anymore.

Hi Pete - I tried to post this under your question in the photobucket thread but it didn't show up so maybe I hit the wrong button!

In Flickr open your picture up and click on share (it's the small curved arrow icon in the bottom right if you didn't see it already)

Select BB Code and copy the string.

You can just paste the string into your post on ISM, but I tend to truncate it after the first [ / url ] string (I've inserted spaces so the site doesn't try to interpret it)

So for an example here's one of mine from yesterday - again I've inserted spaces so you can see where I edit the code line:

And here it is without the spaces so if you quote this post you'll see what the actual string looked like (I hope)

Hope that helps

You're welcome mate - glad it's working for you now

I normally have two tabs open at the same time (one for ISM and one for Flickr) when I'm posting photos but I guess that'd probably be the same for Photobucket anyway.

And you're right about old farts and computers because I meant to take out the birthday comment as it was yesterday - but thanks anyway

My thanks too, as I was just about to ask the very same thing. Cheers!
