Default Never mind someone showed me how to get photo posting to work from flickr

Hi there no need to respond, someone showed me what I was doing wrong.

I will document the answer here in case someone else needs it.

This is for photos posted on flickr. And my computer is a Mac.

1. Go to flickr and look at your photo on photo stream or in your camera roll (or in an album).
2. Double click on the thumbnail. If you see "View on photo page" at the bottom right, click on that.
3. Now you should see three icons at the lower right:

- A pencil in a square. This is for editing/deleting the photo.
- An arrow pointing to the right. This is for sharing images.
- An arrow pointing down. This is for downloading images.

4. Click on the arrow pointing to the RIGHT (for sharing).
5. You should now see a box with four options at the top "Share" ,"Embed", "Email", "BBCode".
6. Select the one for BBCode.
7. Now select a size in the drop down. It was suggested to me to use a size of 786x1024 or smaller when posting here.
8. Now copy the link that is in the dialog box. Paste it in to your post. It will be a LONG link. You don't need all that stuff. Just delete everything before the[img] tag and everything after the [/img] tag.

That should work!

I'm sure there are way easier ways to do this. But this is what I was able to get to work. The method suggested to me earlier in this thread does not work on my computer (or at least I could not make it work).
