Flickr:
Hello,
a user asked me if could give him a guide for posting images from flickr and i decided to create this tutorial instead, so that it can remain as a future reference for anyone interessted.
Let's begin.. I'll assume that you already have the image uploaded to your flickr account
.. oh, the used browser was Firefox, if you are using IE the menus may differ a little.
1) Go to the "
Post your photos!" Section
2) Click the Button "
New Thread"
3) Go to you flickr account and go to the page of the image you wish to post here on the forum, then click on the "
All Sizes" button
4) Click on the "
Medium" link
5) Right-Click on the medium size image, and click "
Copy Image Location"
6) Now let's get back to the "Post New Thread" on PentaxForums,
Left-Click on the "
Insert Image" Button
and the folowing popup will appear:
now Paste the image location which you previously Copyed,
you can Right-Click and Paste, or just use CTRL+V
At this point if you press the submit button, the medium sized image will be displayed on the post, i use the medium sized image to use as thumbnails, next i'll show you how to create a link, so that when someone click the medium image will be forwarded to the large size one.
If you do not wich to create thumbnails, on step 4) go directly to the large size image instead of the medium size, and your done.
Creating a link from the medium size image on PentaxForums to the Large Size on flickr: 7) Repeat step 4) and 5) but instead of going to the medium size, go to the
large size image.
8) On the "
Post new Thread" page, select all the image location, including the [IMG] tags, and the press the "
Insert Link" button.
9) A popup will appear, Paste the URL of the large size image (which you already copied on step 7) using CTRL+V and then click OK.
If everything went OK, you should have the medium size image displayed on the post, and if you click the image you will be forwarded to the large size image.
Just repeat this steps to every image you want to post.
I Hope this helps someone, any doubt just drop me a PM or post here.

PBase:
Many using pbase have run into problems posting here, with images showing up sporadically, or not at all. The solution is very simple: make sure the url you use has nothing between "www" and "pbase", other than the necessary dot, of course. I don't know how it works in other browsers or operating systems, but I right-click on the image and select "Copy Link Location" (Firefox, Windows XP). All you have to do is make sure the image url ends with the image extension...Easy, huh?
