Uploading from Flickr

[Phil]

Question - how do I link a Flickr image to a post here?

I want to host some pictures there for a WIP

Imgur is out - will not let me create an account because of being in Africa.

FLICKR should provide image tags for this purpose.
the format is similar to
url=https://flic.kr/p/2irBzDv]

[/url

but enclosed in square brackets. You don't up load the photo but instead the forum software goes and fetches from the above instruction

I don't have a flickr account to see the exact method.

HMM! that did not work out as I planned. Follow Andy's link instead!

Posting pics like this will make writing WIPS so much easier.

I write the WIP in MS Word, then give the pic name in {picture name} in the text.
Then when loading to the forum I have to attach the pic and place inline and delete the {picture name}
Time consuming for a long post.

Now I can write the whole WIP with all the pic coding already in place.
No limitation on the number of pics either.
