--Quick Reply
--Insert Image
--From URL
--Copy and paste the entire BBCode string
--Retrieve remote file and reference locally (tried this both checked and unchecked)

All you need to do is paste the BBCode into the body of the reply. The software that runs this place will just embed the image and reference the file on the Flickr server. So your process should be:

--Quick Reply
--Copy and paste the entire BBCode string
--Finish your post and click "Submit Quick Reply"

Tried that. . .doesn't work. Not sure why.

Can someone take a screen shot of the page on Flickr and what is cut and pasted? After the last changes to Flickr I also have a problem loading images in.

1) From the photostream, click the photo you want to share.
2) From the photo page, click the "right arrow" button in the bottom right. This is the share menu.
3) Select BBCode
4) Select your desired size
5) Highlight the field that starts, "[url=" and use your copy function to copy the string to the clipboard.
6) Come back to vSalon and paste that string into your post.

Bonus: If you don't want it to be a link, you can remove everything before "[img..." and after ".../img]".


That should do it.

Perhaps pasting this into the message body rather than using the "Insert image" tool is the answer.

Yep. That's the trick.

Thanks!
