How to add pictures to your posts...
DAVETHOMAS90:
Hi folks.
I know a few people have been having problems uploading photos to posts from Flickr.
Current best way (Android phone) seems to be as follows.
From your own Flickr page, click on the drop down menu - either next to "Flickr" or "You".
Select "Camera roll". This gives access to thumbnails of all your photos (most of the time!), but not embedded in a Flickr page.
Click/press on the thumbnail of the image you want to upload. This opens the image.
Click/press on the image to get the option to "view image in new tab". Select this option. The code in the address bar should be the code you want to copy and paste between the two parts of the embed photo icon.
Hope that helps.

Then I found imgbb.com which is much better. The image below was in my iPad a minute ago.

Has anyone been able to gain a grasp of the photo uploading malarky? I saw this posted a few years ago from cheque, and I have a been able to use imgbb.com which looks like it should work ok, but after uploading a photo onto it, the links don't seem to work on here for some reason.
Did the flickr route work better in the end for folks?
Thanks

After you upload a picture to imgbb it will give you a page that says “Upload complete” and “Embed codes” under the picture. Change the option in the dropdown menu to say “BBCode thumbnail linked” and copy- paste the text it gives you into the UKB post.

Thanks Cheque, I did as you said but the image became oversized and pixilated, so tried the BBcode full option and it seems to work better with a smaller image size uploaded on the page.
Cheers, Si
