What are the correct BB tags for linking to a picture in my Flickr account?

How do I format the post so that the image can be seen?

Thanks for your help

Hey Carole!

Can you put up instructions on how to embed images from flikr accounts?

I need to post my 'before' picture, and I'm thinking of registering for a flickr account to do it. Instructions would be good, 'cos then I know it would be worth the effort

Thanks in advance!

Hi Tonsha,

Got your message. No problem.

Log in to Flickr. Find the picture you want. Click on it to view it. Click on 'all sizes' at the top (it's in grey above the picture).
Choose the size you want to post (medium is generally best for this board, I found). Below the picture is the photo's URL.

Use BBCode to embed the photo's URL and make a link:-

(img)http://my.flickr.photo's.url(/img)

(replace the curly brackets with square ones! had to do this otherwise I just get a broken link!).

The photo will then be displayed.

Have fun!
