Posting from Flickr on Android to forum.

So there's no way to get a BBC code from Flickr mobile app and trying to use the website on a phone or tablet is very difficult, as it constantly switches to the app.

I believe that there's a workaround app on iOS but for those of use using Android, that isn't possible.

However, there is a third party app called "Flickr2BBCodeLite" which does the job. When you have the app installed, it shows as an added "share to" option in Flickr itself. Just share the image to the app and copy the generated BB code from there.

Still haven't found a solution for bulk uploads.

The free version of this app is ad supported and only gives an upload size of 800px but that's a good size for the forum and the ads are easily ignored.

Good idea creating a new thread for this, Graeme. I posted a similar message on the end of the "posting from iOS" thread last week.

Ah! Sorry Rob, I missed that!

We were looking for a solution last night but when the OP stated "if you don't have an iOS device, stop reading now!"

That's just what we did! :-p

Sorry, could have saved you a lot of time if I had made a separate thread!
