Tried to embed photos on here from Flickr but just failed again and again despite my legendary patience and endless HOW TO videos on YouTube. I just haven't got the buttons they show. Is there another hosting site that is free and actually user friendly for old grumpy sods like me?
Many thanks for any help
Flickr is pretty simple to post pics from and this is the way I do it
1:
Select from Flickr the picture you want to post, For this example I'm selecting the map by clicking on it
2. This then opens the map photo up. To get the code for posting it I click on the 'sweeping right' arrow which is at the bottom right of the screen indicated with a red arrow in the picture
3. This then opens up a selection box. Make sure the BBC code option is selected. It normally defaults to this when opening but just check . You then choose the size picture you want to post from the drop down options. I normally choose the largest of the medium selections as it's a good size for posts. However the pictures I've used for this tutorial were done with the first of the largest selection. Just have a play around to see what size you like.
4. Once you've decided on size of picture highlight the text in the first box and right click so you can copy it
5. Normally you'd use the post picture on the edit page screen on the forum.
6. But because you copied the complete code from Flickr all you need to do is right click and select paste and the entire code will be put into your text.
7. Hit enter and hopefully your pictures will appear
