Testing sharing an image from Flickr
Posted by the Baron on Thursday, February 17, 2022 3:09 PM

I viewed an image in Flickr, and clicked the Share icon.  I grabbed the secure HTTP link, and I was curious to see how the forum software handles it:

Hmm...still just displays it as a link, doesn't pull in and display the image.

Testing using the Insert feature next.  I clicked Insert and pasted the text into the Source field.

Let's see....

OK, it inserts a link that will open the image in a new browser tab/window.

When the share dialog box opens, click on the BBCODE tab and copy and paste that.  Works well.

Thanks,

John

I don't use it myself, but a recent post had images hosted there, and the poster just had links.  I don't know if that's all he intended, or if he meant to have his images display.  So I was curious to see what the Share options look like in Flickr.

Ah, yes, the BBC code! Thanks, John! I rode ride past it.

Yeah, I had just grabbed the default URL under the Share "tab".  I saw that it didn't match the image string as I usually get out of Postimage, for example.  But I just started at once side and was going to work my way through, from left to right.

One other thing about the BBC code, and the forum-I find I have to strip away the URL tags from the string, strip it down to the image tags.  Otherwise, the forum's software winds up underlining all of the text in the past, after the string for the image.  You may have noticed that, in some posts.

It wasn't always that way; it started after one of the forum software upgrades a couple of years ago.  And it's not a big thing, as bugs go, just looks funny.
