Bob Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 O.K.So . . . some of you know me as the old fart who hitches up the waggon in wintertime to trek north into the warm tropics.I've been doing so for a fair while now and take some photos occasionally on the way . . . . you know, the usual boring stuff of sunsets on golden tropical beaches of the South Pacific with palm trees dropping coconuts all over the joint and desert sandunes that just go on and on and on . . . . . . . but how are you lot going to enjoy any of the ride?I need to download a couple of them so you can feast your eyes on sights that only Australia has.About 5 years ago, I was lured over to the "dark side" of computers and lashed out on an Apple MacBook laptop. I find it maintenance free and just keeps going and going and going . . . . no regular oil changes needed or routine stuff to worry about.Apple upload their iPhotos to Flickr, but I don't know how to URL the photo from Flickr.Previously, I used Photobucket, but now it won't upload any photos. I think the free times with Photobucket have come to an end and I don't want to pay $$$ to show photos online, not if Flickr will do the job.Anyone got any clues on getting piccies put on SAAustralia from Flickr???

I'm hopeless When you click Share and go to the "Grab the HTML/BBCode" section you are presented with two choices: HTML or BBCodeYou chose HTML code (or more likely it defaulted to it) but you need to select BBCode. If you copy and paste the BBCode it displays directly into a post it should work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
