Best way to show new photos from Flickr (and delete the error messages from Photobucket)

aWintersTale

Thanks Bish. After a year of having all my posts (the ones I created showing my dioramas) without any pictures, I thought I might put in new pictures, hoping that these old posts might come to the forefront to alert modelers that my dioramas are now viewable. Apparently they are not. I could put in new pics, delete the old links that were attached to Photobucket, but there is no way to mark these as now viewable. The old guard (Bish, GM, Baron, etc.), who have come to recognize my posts as those lacking pics, have no way to be informed that my dioramas are now viewable with Flickr (not that anyone would stampede the shopping aisles to see my dioramas anyways). That was my sentiment at the time I created this particular post. Nevertheless, thank you for all the inputs. 

As you might add new posts replacing your old ones, you could always note that in the post title, or in the first lines of the post, to let people know.

I didn't bother going back and replacing pics in old threads, i didn't see the point. But you should be able to just delete the PB link and insert the new one in its place without to much trouble.

 

Exactly.  It's too much effort. I would just create a new post as appropriate.

And depending on the forum, it's not possible to edit old posts.  Some forums have an interval, after which it's not possible for the regular users to edit a post.  I don't know if we can still edit old posts here in FSM.  But it's just too much effort.

 

Here you can edit posts when ever you want, but i have seen forums where you can't after a certain amount of time or when somone else has posted.

Appreciate it Glenn.

Thanks Don. What about those Eagles?!

Can't help you much with editing old posts but as far as posting Flickr images I just simply copy the BB code and paste it straight to the text field. Forget those 'Add image" icons in the menu.

For any help with posting pictures, go to the Forum Technical Assistance forum. It is down below in the Feedback, Help, and Testing section.  Lots of good help on these problems there.

Hi Bish! Will give that a try. Thanks.
