I'd just like to make the point, that backlinking to the page you found the picture from, is a very nice thing to add to a picture, and it's remarkably easy. It's already been described very well by Slackers so I won't go into it, but it's very easy

Updated the Wiki entry for Backlinking Flickr the Easy Way to reflect the changes that Flickr have made to their web-site interface (basically it negates the need to use Greasmonkey scripts as Flickr now provide BBcode to embed pictures from each and every page).

Any advice on how to upload photos from an iPad? Have a flickr account but it seems difficult to use from the ipad.

They are wonderous things for some stuff but utterly dump at other stuff

[slackline]

Open a web-browser, go to Flickr, sign-in, select "Upload", find files on iPad and upload them?

Yup.

Get the tapatalk app.. Well worth the £1.50 or however much it is. makes reading the boards much easier than using the web interface. Easy to upload pics etc..

Where does tapatalk host the pictures for you?

[tomtom]

Here.... I press the image icon when replying to a post and I select from the album/camera roll etc..

Nope, tapatalk are hosting them on your behalf...

...and then embedding them.

I was pretty sure the UKB forum wasn't hosting them as it doesn't host anything beyond avtarts (although these days PDFs/images are hosted on the Wiki).

[tomtom]

Yes.. And..? You asked where they were being hosted and I showed you they were being hosted at tapatalk..

Otherwise as im sure you know, you enter a URL as per Normal, except the URL goes in a message box rather than as part of the text editor.. (Which I find a bit neater..). I did wonder why you asked.. Ah ok, you wondered if they were ukb'd.. No. Tapatalk also have a limit on how many pics you can upload.. So I just use if for the the odd one on my phone..

[slackline]

Yep, thats what was confusing me.  I knew the forum didn't have a way of hosting pictures, so you're "Here" I read as meaning "They are hosted here" not "Here is an example for you to look at".

I guess not having a full keyboard to type with is one of the drawbacks of phones/tablets, which results in brevity when posting (at least I find it a hindrance when I'm posting from my phone).

Sorry, did not make myself clear. I can upload photos into Flickr, it's uploading them onto Ukb from Flickr.

[Drew]

You'll have to use (url)http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/21/qehyhu8u.jpg(/url) except square brackets like this [url]. If in doubt click quote on Tomtom's post, to see what it comes up as.

[slackline]

@old cheese : ah ok, that's a piece of piss, see the ukbouldering site faq in the wiki,where there is a page that tells you how to ended pics to the forums, at the bottom it explains how to do this on Flickr hosted pics.

Basically though, above each pictures you upload is a "share" button, click on this and then the "html/bbcode" link, you want to then elect the size you want & bbcode (which if the technical name for the mark-up used on the forum), then copy & paste the text into your post.

If you are using an iSad and the Flikr app...

You need to first select the photo, then using the share function (the double arrows) and "View on Flicker", which takes you to the full web page. (The abbreviated link you get from doing it direct from the app, doesn't work on the forum)...

Then "Share" and "Select all" on that gibberish in the box...


Untitled (2013-01-22 09:40:57) by oldmanmatt, on Flickr

Then "Copy" and just paste it into the dialog box. Works the same way if you are using "Tapatalk" or  viewing in the browser.

Dave Macleod had the same idea, remarkably occurring a month after this post on UKB.

Nice of Flickr to fuck around with their site just for ipad users.

Anyone figured out how to embed instagram pics? Everything about instagram seems awkward to me - square photos that can't be enlarged - but it does seem to have caught on.

[dave]

You can zoom in on the latest versions of Instagram apps grandad, and images haven't been limited to square for ages.

[Johnny Brown]

Ok, but can you embed them on here?

[cheque]

I've never managed it. This suggests that it's possible but I think it's something that needs installing.

[dave]

I think there's a forum addon to allow it.
