    No BB Code on Flickr ?

    I have always used the BB Code to put my photos on threads on this site but now when I try to share from Flickr all I get is a white square that says, '' Share 1 photo to: ''. And that's it ! I can't do anything to the white square except delete it to return to the photo. Have looked at the Flickr site but cannot find if anyone else is having the same trouble.
    Can anyone here shed some light or even have a solution to what's going wrong ?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    There certainly seems to be one when I use Flickr (which is for most of my images).

    1. Find your image in Photostream and click on it;

    2. Go the the string of 5 symbols along the bottom; the middle one is the "Share" button. Click on it.

    3. That brings up a pop-up box. The right most tab is the BB Code. Click on it.

    4. Copy the code into your post. You can delete a lot of the code on the right to eliminate some of the "noise" that Flickr adds to the code.

    It looks like you have duplicated the image from #3 instead of a new one that shows the tab for BBCode


    EDIT (1 minute after posting!) Looks OK now

    Or click on the download sign, the arrow to the left. Select View All Sizes. Then you can make a selection of the size you want. Right click on the picture, select copy image location and past that to here. When you select the original, then you have also the exif included. The others not, if it hasn't changed.

    It's not just you. There are sometimes where Flickr seems to take forever to load that part of the screen. Sometimes refreshing the screen works and at other times, one has to wait it out...
