Here I have inserted a carriage return between the two:

......url][url.....

Like this

....url]

[url......

To get the title below the image

I love the opening image Eric.
Since I don't use Flickr, is the method you've described unique to images hosted there?

So far I've found the built in feature (button underneath the Bold button in the menu bar) seems to work for other sites.



This also seems to allow you to type text such as captions around your image too. Please tell me if I'm missing something.....

[ColinM]

....ok, so the "click to open elsewhere" functionality is the extra feature.

A must in my eyes, otherwise it really looks crappy.

Other image hosters like SmugMug provide a similar copy&past link feature, but without the advertising string, just the image link.

I am usually faster typing

Code: [Select]

[img][/img]and putting the link between the tags than navigating to that copy&paste feature.

Hi AFX, yes I found the approach worked fine, except for the "click to enlarge" behaviour.

• In the previous site we used to visit, the BB software automatically produced a larger or full-sized version of the image when you clicked on it.
• Eric's approach takes you to the source site. I don't always like this, but one benefit is that it can introduce viewers to the rest of your portfolio. Ron Scubadiver used a simialr approach by posting a single image, plus the URL to the wider collection
• I note that with our new Nikongear, a simple R-click gives you the usual menu that includes "Open in new tab". This "sort of" works as that image can then be clicked to show it at its full size

I'm sure we'll make this more seamless in the weeks ahead so no worries. Any suggestions from other people are welcome.

In the previous site we used to visit, the BB software automatically produced a larger or full-sized version of the image when you clicked on it.

But only for uploaded images. The behavior for linked images is the same.

Eric's approach takes you to the source site. I don't always like this, but one benefit is that it can introduce viewers to the rest of your portfolio.

That is specific to the BB code generated by Flickr.
I use a slightly different approach that just links to a larger image, not the hosting site:

Code: [Select]

[url=LargeImage][img]ForumImage[/img][/url]

I note that with our new Nikongear, a simple R-click gives you the usual menu that includes "Open in new tab". This "sort of" works as that image can then be clicked to show it at its full size

Of course as there is no JavaScript code to mess with the image/link. Basically a consequence of the first point in the list.

Testing BBCode from Flickr to see if I got it right :-)

Another test.

Taking out the diaper by Joergen Ramskov, on Flickr

Using Flickr BBcode. Seems to work well.

[Øivind Tøien]

Jørgen, if I click on your image I am asked to log in to Yahoo...

[elsa hoffmann]

It appears you made the settings "private" on flickr - however it is visible in the thread to us.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

I cannot see Jørgen's photo - it is said to be private.

[Jørgen Ramskov]

Yes, the image is marked private on Flickr. It seemed okay here, I tested in a browser where my Flickr login information is unknown and I saw the image just fine here on the site. I also just tested it on my iPhone and I could see the image here in the thread just fine.

Bjørn: Are you saying you don't see the image here in the thread?
