I have had this problem for a while.
I upload photos to Fickr and then try to share them from Flickr to various forums.
Until fairly recently (sorry, I cannot remember exactly when, but probably within the last three months) I would choose 'Share', copy the link, and paste it on a forum, and the image would appear.
Now the link, rather than the image, appears.
It is not a great problem but I would prefer the image to be shown and I also can understand folks not being too keen on clicking on a random link.
A few minutes ago I put a posting on the Reptiles and Amphibians thread and it shows as a link!
Can anyone advise how I can get back to being able to share a photo so it appears as a photo and not a link?
Alternatively, what hosting sites do others use for images?
Thanks
Dave

I usually copy the BBCode link, but the last ones I did I had to change the permissions on the image in Flikr. Not sure if that helps

Yes, it's the BBCode...
When you click on the 'swoosh' share arrow in the bottom right corner under the photo, it brings up a smaller screen with four options- share, embed, email, and BBCode.
Click on BBCode, then select which size option you want... (I usually go with the middle medium one) and then select all of the code showing in the top box, (if you put the cursor on it and click, it should all turn blue) and then copy it. That's what you paste into your post here, and once you're finished typing and hit 'reply' then the photo should appear.
Does this help? If it doesn't work, I'll do some screen grabs tomorrow and do some illustrations in Photoshop... it might make more sense that way!

Thanks Teasel, Rb and Ian.
Reading your description Rb it is exactly as I remember what happens (or rather used to happen)with Flickr for me when posting images. I recall, in the past, clicking on the BBcode and selecting the size, but now I do not see the smaller screen with the -share, embed, email and BBcode, options.
Perhaps I have inadvertently changed a setting. Thanks Teasel, I will have a try at changing some permissions.
Thanks for the quick replies all.
Dave

with me, if I have the required photo showing in Flikr, the options are showing lower right. I keep my photos in an album, so I select album, click on the photo I want to share, and there they are |

Thanks, I will have a look at how I organise photos on Fickr.
