Embedding images on OCT

[pmitch_82]

Hey guys,

I used to use Photobucket before it went crazy. Using Flickr now, but seems OCT doesnt accept any of the URL's to upload images. The 'Upload a file' option is also poor for creating sales threads with text about each image.

Is it an OCT issue or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Phill

Do you have any links to flickr images you are trying to put into posts?

I've not had anyone else raise issues about this.

Thanks Graham for the quick reply.

I am going to the share option on Flickr, which gives this URL: https://flic.kr/p/266Z7WG

or the embed option:
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/154179060@N05/41418203604/in/dateposted-public/" title="Autos"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/982/41418203604_58a5b1117f.jpg" width="500" height="459" alt="Autos"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

You need to use the BBCode code option

Autos by NBA Cards Melbourne Australia, on Flickr

I tried that also, but got an error.

Autos[/url] by NBA Cards Melbourne Australia, on Flickr[/IMG]

I just did it above. You need to make sure you are cutting and pasting the whole line.

The code for the example above is :

[URL='https://flic.kr/p/266Z7WG'][IMG]https://farm1.staticflickr.com/982/41418203604_58a5b1117f_z.jpg[/IMG]Autos[/URL] by [URL='https://www.flickr.com/photos/154179060@N05/']NBA Cards Melbourne Australia[/URL], on Flickr

Yep, was using the full link and also used the link you have pasted above, still no good. Must be a mac thing or something. All good. Will figure something else out. Thanks for your help.

@pmitch_82 are you clicking on the image icon and then pasting the link in there?

If I do that I get the result that you're getting.

Try copying the bb code directly into your comment.

If you want to tidy it up then you only really need these bits of the bb code

@graham not sure if this is an issue with the ozct site or the flickr code

Ah ok, got it, was using it the same way as photobucket would work.

Thanks heaps Graham
