Having trouble posting pictures from Flickr... only getting links

Hello. I have read and re-read how to post pictures too the forum, but I am having difficulty. I specifically us Flickr as my picture sharing hub, but everytime I try to post, all it does is display the link. Some people have been kind enough to “liven” my links and turn them into pictures, but I do not know how to do this. I love the forums and would like to be even more involved. This is why I would like to be able to show some pictures. Any and all help is appreciated here. Thank you!

If you don’t your real name to appear, all you need is part of what you copied, everything in bold starting with the open bracket before img and ending with the closed bracket after img

just paste that, don’t use the link or the picture icons and after you post your message, the link turns into this

You maybe treading on very thin ice, Henry.

Testing to see if this works…

Nice! Is that your layout?

Bear, don’t take me too seriously. Vinnie wouldn’t get combat pay without people like me.

John Holy moly, I clicked on your photostream and you do spectacular work! [tup] [tup]

I watched a youtube video last night from a guy on the Internet. It was how to build a road, and I was not impressed.

If you haven’t been in Model Railroader, you need to submit an article.

OR simply go to your Flickr account preferences and change the ID to read what you want. I show only my first name. No worries.

Flicker terms of use say that the link has to show if you are using their service as third-party hosting, as Bear has mentioned.

Good Luck, Ed

Unless you have your name on it or a link back to a Flickr account that is linked to your nam, it will be next to impossible to enforce your copyright. That’s another reason for not just posting your pic., otherwise someone could “borrow” it and leave you with no recourse.

Yes, that is a picture from my N scale Rock Island layout. I have some good shots and look forward to showing in the forum now that I know how to post.[;)]

Thanks for the compliment Big Daddy. I’ve only been doing model railroading for about 7 years, and I’m learning more every time I pick up a tool or brush. I actually live about 10 minutes away from the Kalmbach and model Railroader offices. So hopefully I can pursue some publication attempts. Thanks again. Cheers!

Nice modelling!

Wow, N scale even! [:O] Great work! I just looked through your Flickr photos.

Being so close, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone from Kalmbach came knocking at your door.

I’m about 30 miles away.

Mike.
