I like the BB code block that flickr generates for you. All you need to do is paste this into the body of a thread and the server upload then tranlates it into the correct html (at least that's what appears to be happening by looking at the page source).
The code block that 500px generates is already in html format and I couldn't figure out a way to post this in a thread and the server accept it. It always ended up generating a 503 error.
OK - so this is a bit more manual but it does appear to work. Note I have tested this and it worked the first time I did it but on attempting to replicate to test my instructions were correct for this thread I did get 503 errors from the server. But then after I closed my browser and then re-opened and tried again it worked. Most of us have experienced the 503 error from time to time so I think what I have written here is valid.
Robert if you are not comfortable with this then please remove this thread.
To avoid the server trying to read the code and generating more errors I have pasted it here as an image so you can see exactly what I did to get this to work.
Basically I took a flickr code block and replaced the flickr addresses with the addresses from the 500px html code block. But as per the image I got errors - possibly because 500px has removed the www. from the addresses of the image and person links. I just manually added them and then in preview Post the image appeared with what looked like working links.
Hope this helps.
