Loading photos from Flickr

[imaccat]

I currently use Flickr to publish my photographs and I would like to use that to load photos into RS threads, does anybody know if you can do it?

I can load the url of the photo into a thread, but can't get it to show the image. I know you can use photo-bucket, but as I already have all Flickr I don't want to start using 2 tools to manage my photos.

Any ideas?

I always click the view all sizes tab over the picture then use the url from the large pic.

Joe thanks, but all I get is the url, I must be doing something wrong.

are you using the insert image button? (past should say paste in image)

wrap this syntax

img] xxxxx [/img]

around it... 1st bracket [ missing above so I can show this...

Thanks Joe, I must have been doing something wrong as it worked this time.

While I'm talking to the expert, how do you get your link to Flickr to say 'My Flickr' rather than mine that shows the whole url?

Just type MYFLICKR, then highlight it, then click the world with the chain on it and paste the url.

Another question regarding Flickr, anybody know how to show videos from Flickr here?

When I use the HTML from Flickr I just get the HTML showing like this;

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="400" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"> <param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=d17595367d&photo_id=4500072704"></param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377"></param> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&photo_secret=d17595367d&photo_id=4500072704" height="400" width="300"></embed></object>

It works as just a link, but I would prefer to embed the video if possible.
