Not too hard to do

1) select photo
2) click the share arrow in bottom right corner
3) select the BBCode tab on the resulting window
4) make sure the size in the lower box is 'reasonable' the below is 500 x 375
5) highlight and copy the text in the upper box
6) paste the text into your forum post

voila!

oh and 7) through 10) preview the thing to avoid embarrassing yourself :)

Cheers

Ok what's the BCC code? I can't see it just a long list of choices like copy link, share to Facebook etc

I'm doing this on my tablet so not sure if it makes a difference

How's this - right from my android phone I shared and selected copy to clipboard, pasted it to the post and got an actual link

not perfect but something

checking that link code against the BBCode and there's no way to easily edit. . .

My recommendation would be to do the post from a computer not a tablet/phone - unless some 12 year old can tell us how :)

I had to transfer my photos to the laptop to run the desktop version of Flickr

Thanks again
