How do you share photos with Flickr?

[Kobione]

I have just updated and sorted out my Flickr account, which I haven't used for years, because Photobucket which I have regularly used is now getting awkward with storage limits too. I have only 9 pictures in Flickr which I uploaded today, but I've tried several times to put them in to a topic but have not succeeded in doing it. Any help please - I tried going into the help section on one open page and following the instructions on my Flickr page, but it still didn't work.

Hi Dee

Click on the photo in your photostream.  Then, on the bottom right of your photo there should be 4 little icons.  The second one (an arrow pointing right) is the "share" option.

Select that - then click on "BBCode" at the top of the box that appears.  You then get a dropdown box that lets you pick the size you want.

After that - just copy & paste the text from the box in the middle into your post.  I usually find that after posting you need to edit and insert a carriage return to get the text to appear underneath the image correctly.

Thanks Gareth,  I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Just tried again with this one Gareth, still not sure I'm doing it the right way, but I did get it here!
