    Flickr and i do NOT have the Pushpin to upload..

    ok the new Flickr seems to be a challenge to say the least. I have been told to 'click on the pushpin under share..'
    Well my screen does not look like the screen example. And there is no pushpin or BB code like before?
    Anyone? I need it to upload to another site.
    thank you,
    Nancy

    Nancy - it takes a bit of getting used to it, but the "new and improved" Flickr works just fine, but it takes a bit of poking around and playing with it to figure it out.

    I had a similar reaction to you, but perservered and seem to have no issues using it now that I have figured out the new interface. It works as well as the old one.

    Under the share Icon (box with an arrow in it) which needs to be clicked - he push pin has replaced by the word "bb code".

    I've never found a pushpin either.

    I've found it easiest to open your photostream, click the image you want to post here. When it opens, at the right center you will see three dots, click then > download all sizes > view all sizes > select medium 800 > right click 'download the medium 800 sizes of this photo' > then copy link location. You then have the link to paste here.

    Bit of a PIA but it works for me.

    They seem to be changing this every second day at the moment. It is indeed a PIA.

    Thanks to Richard for telling us about the BB code. I never know which one of those I'm meant to use (Link, HTML, BB Code). It's always been a bit of trial and error until one of them works.

    Yes, the BB code used to work fine! I do not post that much so it's always like starting over each time.
    Bob, I will try your steps, thank you!
