Adding photos to Critique

[dennis]

OK I'm thick, but how do I get a photo from flickr on to the Critique thread, or any other for that matter? Talk of IMG & such means nothing to me - I need little buttons I can click on & achieve something . . . Help!
Thanks, Dennis.

just get the web address of the jpg you want to display and stick the IMG tags (the things in square brackets) either end of it, like this:

Code: Select all

[img]insert image url here[/img]

First, right mouse click on the flickr image then select 'Copy Image Location' (exact wording depends on your browse), then move to the forum reply window and click on the Img button just above the window. Then paste (Control C, or right mouse click and select 'Paste') the location in between the tags. You should finish up with what dave posted above, and when you submit your post the image should be displayed.

Thanks both, but it does not work for me. I've just tried it & when I 'preview' all I get are the word I've entered - no pic. I am using a Mac perhaps that needs a different approach? Dennis.

This is what I get . . . Dennis

You've put the url of the flickr page in the IMG tags, which is why it won't display. You need the url of the actual image, ending in .jpg, if you right click the image in the flickr page you can find that jpg url.

Ah - thank you. I'll try that. Dennis
