The FLICKR uploader copies images from your PC to your Flickr account. It doesn't give you a link. You can also use the manual upload from your Flickr account. If you need the Flickr uploader then go here... www.flickr.com/tools/
Having uploaded a shot/s you need to get a link. You have two methods.
METHOD 1. CREATES IMAGE LINK BUT LINKS BACK TO FLICKR WHEN VIEWER CLICKS ON IMAGE IN FORUM - Note: this method also puts a ltitle under the forum posted shot, and a link to your Flickr account. You may want to do this to get wiewers to make you a contact, look at your other shots, look at the EXIF data (if there is any) etc. This method will show the image, but clicking on it will not utilize the FSC lightbox, but link the viewer back to FLICKR. If you don't want to link back then you have to circumvent that by using method 2.
The link for this test shot was obtained by method 1. Click on it and it will take you to my Flickr account.

METHOD 2. THIS METHOD DOES NOT LINK BACK TO FLICKR BUT USES THE FORM LIGHTBOX INSTEAD.
1. Go to Photostream and left click image. Image will load in lightbox.
2. Right click image. you will get this dialogue
3. Select the size you want to display in the forum. If you are using Internet Explorer you need to right click and select 'properties'. This dialogue will appear
4. Select the address URL with your mouse and do CTRL/C (CMD/C MAC) to copy the link.
5. If using Firefox then from step 3 above just right click image and select 'copy image location', then return to forum and insert image. THE IE is slightly longer, but has the same effect when posting the image.
Click on image - it should show it in the FORUM lightbox, not FLICKR.

- Go to Photostream and left click image. Image will load in lightbox.
- Hit the SHARE button and you will see the dialogue in the screen print below.
- Choose your options by selecting 'grab the link', then select 'BBcode' and the size you require for posting. The code will be highlighted and do a CTRL/C CND/C on a MAC. which will copy code.
- return to forum and paste it into a IMG link in the edit box.

) but it's a little bit of a conundrum, still, for me. When I click on the very last image, here, I don't see the whole photo on my screen and I can't scroll up and down on the image. Does this make sense?
