Before you start your photos need to be resized to 1024 x 683. You can do this in Photoshop or FlickR will do it for if it is set to that size, and make sure they are in an accessible folder together. As I can not see the first page of FlickR it asks what you want to do with the photos, Share, - Embed, - Email or - BBCode. Make sure you select BBCode. Your home page will look like this, with out photos FlickR 1a by Beemer328i, on Flickr In the top right corner is a cloud symbol with an arrow pointing in to it, click that and you will get this. FlickR 2a by Beemer328i, on Flickr Click the blue band in the middle with the code and this window will open making sure your photos are there in the folder. FlickR 3a by Beemer328i, on Flickr When you have found your photo/s select one or as many as you want but I am just showing one and click open and you get this. FlickR 4a by Beemer328i, on Flickr Add a title, ie aircraft registration, type etc.It helps for future reference and then click the Upload 1 photo button top right and you will get this. FlickR 5a by Beemer328i, on Flickr ...and click upload again in the middle and you will get this. FlickR 6a by Beemer328i, on Flickr You now need to get the page ready on the Forum to accept the photo. Just below your photo on FlickR to the right is a curved arrow, click on this and you get this. FlickR 7a by Beemer328i, on Flickr You now Control C (Copy) the blue link in the middle noting what I said earlier about 1024 x 683 and BBCode. Open the forum page and Control V (Paste) the link to the forum. See how you go on. After you have done it a couple of times it is a piece of pee. Brian. Don't forget BBCode and make your photos no more than 1024 x 683 as this is the Forum standard. Best of luck Beemer (Administrator)

Thanks for this. It is much better than Photobucket. I am just hoping that they do not go down the same charging route as Photobucket at some time in the future.
What I have not been able to do, is to swap images between folders. Any ideas?

What I have not been able to do, is to swap images between folders. Any ideas? Ron Hi Ron, Check this link below www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157644290869902/You can only move one at a time. Hope this helps, Mike Edit : Slight caveat, I am A.F.K at the moment but if you move an image to another album I am unsure if the html code will change and in turn the bbcode will change so the result may be loss of an image displayed if you intend to move a photo already displayed in nwan post.I would test it with one image that is already shown withn on of your existing posts first off. If loss of image occurs, just edit the existing post with the new bbcode from the photo sitting in its new location/album.

P B image by Beemer328i, on Flickr If like me you have lots of these around the Forum and would like to replace it with a like for like FlickR image. If you didn't put a title under your photo you won't know what it was. If you added the title to the PB image when you uploaded it you find it by editing the page and the PB code appears with your photo title like this one. [img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/uncletommo/ PH-KZG.jpg"] I hope this is of use to any one. Beemer.

You can play with the code to do much more things. Host the large version on flickr and embed a small version. This way you can zoom to full resolution without clogging the forum, images below take about 100kb to display for all 6 but you can click on each one to zoom to bigger than NWAN will show due to left/right margin limits. See how small the post is for 6 photos, yet clicking each photo makes them much bigger than in when 1024 wide is hosted on nwan. The forum page usually shows 1024 as around 750 in real terms anyway. These are 240 wide zooming to 1600 when clicked. If I tried to host all 6 @ 1600 wide on the forum, the photo would be downsized anyway but would still take up the original space of around 1mb each and load slow. Hey presto, 6mb down to 100kb , done ! A bit of fiddling with html code Mike Edit : To explain the space constraints a little further, you havent got much of a hope beyond 1024 codes as the 1024s are downsized anyway in most cases.

Just be aware that you can’t use the Flickr app for the iPad to upload photos as it does not display the BBcode required for this.

I upload my pictures to my iPad, edit them and upload to Flickr but, I’ve then got to go on the laptop to get them from Flickr to NWAN Ian

I have tried this watching the video posted by radiostationx here and it doesn't work as shown, until you actually tap on the video to get it to take you too it on youtube itself where there are more detailed instructions written down and hey presto it works. It's just a shame that the fricking Flickr app doesn't do this. Oh well maybe on their next update fingers crossed it will but I won't be holding my breathe. Thanks for finding this little gem radiostationx.

Regarding my FlickR for Dummies, I need help from any one who has just recently joined to tell me what the first instructions are. I have every thing else in my post regarding Flickr but what do you do after selecting BB Code. I need some one to fill in that gap as you never see it again after joining. Thanks Beemer.

Flickr seems to be pushing for more subscribers, i had this in an email.
What are the alternatives if Flickr closes or changes to a full subscription service.
Dear friends, Flickr—the world’s most-beloved, money-losing business—needs your help.
Two years ago, Flickr was losing tens of millions of dollars a year. Our company, SmugMug, stepped in to rescue it from being shut down and to save tens of billions of your precious photos from being erased.
Why? We’ve spent 17 years lovingly building our company into a thriving, family-owned and -operated business that cares deeply about photographers. SmugMug has always been the place for photographers to showcase their photography, and we’ve long admired how Flickr has been the community where they connect with each other. We couldn’t stand by and watch Flickr vanish.
So we took a big risk, stepped in, and saved Flickr. Together, we created the world’s largest photographer-focused community: a place where photographers can stand out and fit in.
We’ve been hard at work improving Flickr. We hired an excellent, large staff of Support Heroes who now deliver support with an average customer satisfaction rating of above 90%. We got rid of Yahoo’s login. We moved the platform and every photo to Amazon Web Services (AWS), the industry leader in cloud computing, and modernized its technology along the way. As a result, pages are already 20% faster and photos load 30% more quickly. Platform outages, including Pandas, are way down. Flickr continues to get faster and more stable, and important new features are being built once again.
Our work is never done, but we’ve made tremendous progress.
Now Flickr needs your help. It’s still losing money. Hundreds of thousands of loyal Flickr members stepped up and joined Flickr Pro, for which we are eternally grateful. It’s losing a lot less money than it was. But it’s not yet making enough.
We need more Flickr Pro members if we want to keep the Flickr dream alive.
We didn’t buy Flickr because we thought it was a cash cow. Unlike platforms like Facebook, we also didn’t buy it to invade your privacy and sell your data. We bought it because we love photographers, we love photography, and we believe Flickr deserves not only to live on but thrive. We think the world agrees; and we think the Flickr community does, too. But we cannot continue to operate it at a loss as we’ve been doing.
Flickr is the world’s largest photographer-focused community. It’s the world’s best way to find great photography and connect with amazing photographers. Flickr hosts some of the world’s most iconic, most priceless photos, freely available to the entire world. This community is home to more than 100 million accounts and tens of billions of photos. It serves billions of photos every single day. It’s huge. It’s a priceless treasure for the whole world. And it costs money to operate. Lots of money.
Flickr is not a charity, and we’re not asking you for a donation. Flickr is the best value in photo sharing anywhere in the world. Flickr Pro members get ad-free browsing for themselves and their visitors, advanced stats, unlimited full-quality storage for all their photos, plus premium features and access to the world’s largest photographer-focused community for less than $5 per month.
You likely pay services such as Netflix and Spotify at least $9 per month. I love services like these, and I’m a happy paying customer, but they don’t keep your priceless photos safe and let you share them with the most important people in your world. Flickr does, and a Flickr Pro membership costs less than $1 per week.
Please, help us make Flickr thrive. Help us ensure it has a bright future. Every Flickr Pro subscription goes directly to keeping Flickr alive and creating great new experiences for photographers like you. We are building lots of great things for the Flickr community, but we need your help. We can do this together.
We’re launching our end-of-year Pro subscription campaign on Thursday, December 26, but I want to invite you to subscribe to Flickr Pro today for the same 25% discount.
We’ve gone to great lengths to optimize Flickr for cost savings wherever possible, but the increasing cost of operating this enormous community and continuing to invest in its future will require a small price increase early in the new year, so this is truly the very best time to upgrade your membership to Pro.
If you value Flickr finally being independent, built for photographers and by photographers, we ask you to join us, and to share this offer with those who share your love of photography and community.
With gratitude,
Don MacAskill Co-Founder, CEO & Chief Geek SmugMug + Flickr
