I am new to the Forum and one of the things I find I have not cracked is uploading images. I know a simple link to an image can be placed with a small file. I know too, that much discussion has gone on about BBCode and HTML. However, what I could not find was a definitive description of how to successfully upload from Flickr so everyone had a chance to see a reasonable sized image without overburdening the EOS Server.
The description given by djguk48 was started in 2010 but stubbornly stays stuck to the top of the list in the 'How to post a images to Forum' thread. Swanny48 uploaded as an answer to this but did not say 'how' he did it.
So I have experimented in Flickr. I have found that if I choose download and try to link any of the sizes on offer they are all rejected by the Forum unless they are very small, such as I one of the Bishop's Palace in Wells which [should] be linked to this post.
The full image is at: https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3829/3...4cd207ae_o.jpg
Now, can some of you learned wizards help a 68 year old work this out. Where are the definitive instructions for uploading a Flickr image on to the Forum.
Many thanks.
