How do you access this site?

Anyone know how to insert a thumbnail with a url link?

ok lets assume you have put the image up on flickr. You now have a page that looks like this ( www.flickr.com/photos/albertw/122030048/ )

At the top of the picture there is an "All sizes" button. click on that and you'll see something like this:

In this case the file size that meets our criteria is the "Medium" image. In firefox (someone post the IE instructions if different and I'll add them in) right click on the image and select properties, this will tell you the image size in kb. All medium images I've seen so far have been under 200k.

Now right click again on the image and select copy image location.

To insert the image on the site you have two options.
Firstly you can include the pic and then below it give the link. eg

A full resolution image is available at www.flickr.com/photos/albertw/122030048/

To do that you would type:
[code:1][img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/122030048_5c465977ec.jpg[/img]
A full resolution image is available at http://www.flickr.com/photos/albertw/122030048/[/code:1]

The other option is to allow users to click on the image to go to the original size version. For that follow the steps above but also copy the image location of the full size image:

Click on the image above to get the full size version (1115x841)

The code for that looks like this: The URL line has the location of the large image and the img tags have the thumbnail.
[code:1]
[url=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/122030048_5c465977ec_o.jpg][img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/43/122030048_5c465977ec.jpg[/img][/url]

Hope that helps. I'll probably split this post off and make it sticky for future. Please let me know of any corrections needed!

Albert,

When I right click on the image I do not get the option to 'copy image location' this may only be available to PRO users of flick r?

Dont think so... if you right click on any of the images in my post do you get the option to "Copy Image location"? Its the third option down for me. What browser are you using btw?

EDIT: Just looked in internet explorer and (typically!) it doesn't have a convenient option. You need to right click, select properties, then copy the 'Address (URL)' line from there.

OK AL will give it a try tomorrow. Too cream crackered to try now.

Just wondering how users access this site?

But you're not "just wondering" are you?

I voted before reading the thread assuming it was just a straight question.

Next time you want my vote to help you grind an axe - one that seems to be peculiar to you - please do me the courtesy of being upfront about it.

PS, I "voted" broadband but am more than happy with the limit.

So Bart - although you only occasionally use dial up you still voted dial up as opposed to broadband which you use more often ? Results not going your way?
Whatever............

I am a diualup user. If the site is not dialup-friendly I will suffer so of course I voted for dialup. What would you do, vote to cut off your own arm?

Bart.
