How to Upload Photos in a post?


Please give 'dummie' help so I can upload photos into a post.

Thanks, Elliott

I joined Flickr to have a place to upload photos to. Now I have to learn how to use it’s site.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/?utm_campaign=fl-onboard&utm_source=Flickr&utm_medium=email&utm_content=welcome

Here, it seems, I downloaded a small icon of the real photo from flickr's site. I need to find out where the real photo is.

Thank you Brothers. The only unclear/tricky part is getting a personal photo to "the web". I was able include the URL for a picture (sourced from Audiogon), but my post was deleted. Will look into joining "Flickr".

Isn't it funny that Audiogon never updated their spell checker to recognize their own name?

Flickr is a bit complicated, as it loves to insert a junk URL that, essentially, advertises their site. Here's a photo of mine at Flickr:

But to do that I had to go to the photo in my 'Photostream', click on it, click on the 'Share' icon (a curved arrow), select BBCode, and get this link:

[url=https://flic.kr/p/2o1jGc3][img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52512188656_ab60d34d5e_c.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/2o1jGc3]Reference_Series_V[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrism229/]chrism229[/url], on Flickr

I then reduced that link in the Image box here by selecting and deleting everything after 'jpg' and everything before the second 'https' leaving just this:

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52512188656_ab60d34d5e_c.jpg

And the Image dialog here just puts the image tags [img][/img] around that address.

If you use Flickr's simple link, which the Flickr Share box helpfully calls 'Share' you get a link to the page with the image on, but not an image inline in a post here:

You'll get the hang of it!

so dark ages….. Audiogon needs a serious upgrade…. to remain even remotely competitive…..
