Peter T Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Welcome aboard JimmyMac. You should all check out his opening post into the group, it is of the highest quality, well done and thanks for sharing. JimmyMac put a lot of photos on here of Warrington a couple of years ago. He said he would come back and take some more after the bus station was complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Don't do that Peter The way I look at it is that we can only get better as we have more to learn... and we are learning by chatting and by looking at other group members photos too. One day we will shock and amaze them when we take a really great shot whereas we are now expecting nothing but perfection from them Saying that has anyone else noticed how boring Victor's Flickr group photo page is Victor you muppet... now that you have been accepted as a member you are supposed to upload some of YOUR photos too and not just look at everyone elses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 PJ... is there a way of using the image link from Flickr to directly display a photo on here. I tried yesterday but it put a link to press rather than displaying the image. At the moment I'm having to upload them to the group page on Flickr but also having to upload them to photobucket if I want to show them on here and it is taking me AGES due to the size of my photo files I know I can make it quicker by saving a reduced size copy first but then that's yet another 'task' to do.

Wingnut Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Mornin all (just about). I've been out of it for a few days, I'd just like to say thanks to Dizzy and Sue for their tips, as I am now geting nearer to where I want to be with my pictures. There's a long way to go yet, but to me the improvement so far is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dizzy I resize my photo files down to max 1000 pixels min 800 pixels this speeds up the uploading time and also makes a photo less desirable for theft commercial gain.

Dizzy Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I doubt anyone would want to pinch mine Algy I do resize them after uploading to photobucket to post on here but I upload the full sized ones into Flickr. Guess you are right though and I'll just copy and resize them all (leaving the originals as they are of course) prior to uploading them anywhere it will be a pain though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dizzy rewinds...... It will be easy I just remembered about SD's clever tip of using DROPLETS Still doesn't answer the question of wether I can post a link from flickr directly on here to actually display an image rather than using photobucket though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta Hi Dizzy, Sorry for the delay in replying but yes there is a quick way to post images here from flickr 1. double click the image you wish to upload in your photostream. 2.Click on the "share this" box above the image and then click on "grab the HTML/BBCode" 3. choose the size image you want( I use medium) 4.Click the BBCode button 5. use your mouse to highlight the text from to[/i] img] like in the picture. 6. Paste into your message for the forum. make sure there are no stray characters before or after the [img bits as its a bit tricky sometimes picking up the text. Post message and there you go.
