    I have opened a Flickr account to discover the mysteries of posting a photo from Flickr. Here is how to do it. It is important to select the correct type of code so please read carefully :)

    Step 1. Open your photo album and click on the image you want to use. Just above the image you will see three icons, one with an envelope, one for facebook, one for twitter. To the left of those icons is an Actions button, and to the right of those buttons is a small arrow. Click this small arrow an you will see a drop down menu

    Step 2.
    There are three options on your drop down menu and these are as follows

    • [li]Share this on …[/li]
      [li]Grab the link[/li]
      [li]Grab the HTML/BB code[/li]
    You need to click the bottom option ‘Grab the HTML/BB code’ in order to use your photo in a forum
    When you have clicked on this link, this is what you will see
    Underneath the box containing the code, you will see that there are two radio buttons. Select the button which is labelled BB code

    Step 3
    Now select and copy ALL the code (there is quite a lot of it!) in the box and paste it into your forum post
