katyjay 4,997 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Photobucket comes straight onto the forum, I guess flickr is different and you have to click on the link. Either way, good to see your photo, keep 'em coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,625 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Thought the picture would come onto the forum - something else I have to learn how to do. I'm a newbie here and it took a bit of messing about to make an image load on a Nottstalgia page too . Basically you need to select the image you want in your flickr photostream , then right click it . A dialogue should come up that says . "This photo is All Rights Reserved" but then below that is a choice of image sizes "medium 500" etc . Click on the size you want . Then right click on that image and a menu should come up . Select the very bottom one called "properties". This should bring up the file details of the image . Here you should see a part that says "address (URL)" and your file that ends in ".jpg" You need to highlight this by left clicking and scrolling over , so the whole file name turns blue Then right click and "save" and then "paste" into the image dialogue box on Nottstalgia . Phew ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 systema, I'd like you to know that when I joined Nottstalgia I had a right job downloading photos. I got so frustrated with it but in the end I sorted it out with the help of the other Nottstalgians. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,625 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Flickr seems to have changed its site since I last tried to upload a picture . It now seems to be slightly easier to post pictures from there on to Nottstalgia . You now select the image you want from your photostream , right click on it and select the size you want displayed . When that pops up , right click again and select "Copy Image URL" from the menu . Then "paste" into the image box on the Nottstalgia "reply" section as before . It's right as long as the file name ends in .jpg Jobs a good 'un ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 304 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 New system just starting to run on Flickr. It now gives none pro users a free terabyte of space. Only problem being , I can't get it to open my photos, I can get the home page but when I click on the link to 'My Photostream' it just tells me it took too long to respond and to try later ! Bit of a piss take if you've just forked out $20 to renew you pro subscription ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,625 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Perhaps the site is under pressure from people checking the updated site out . Took an age to upload the last 2 , low quality car photos I linked to from here . Hopefully it will settle down soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 304 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Got in to it last night after about an hour !! AND I DON'T LIKE IT ONE BIT It's far too hard to find your 'photostream' which used to pop up in front of you immediately, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,625 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Got in to it last night after about an hour !! AND I DON'T LIKE IT ONE BIT It's far too hard to find your 'photostream' which used to pop up in front of you immediately, I don't have anything popping up immediately in front of me nowadays.......unfortunately On the opening page just click the "You" from the top menu and your photostream should be the first option . Just tried it a minute ago and it works fine . I like it better , all the images are displayed in a much better format without having to scroll through tiny thumbnails .

Beefsteak 304 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 No ,!!!! I didn't think of doing that !!!.......................... What I said was, it used to be there in front of you when you logged in . Now you have to faff around looking for it. !In my humble opinion "If it ain't broke , don't fix it !!" I'm also pretty glad I managed to suss out how to get 'pro' for free, (As a BT subscriber you get it for nowt, although they deny all knowledge of this!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
