posting pics from Flickr

Finally figuring this out makes me very happy.  Not quite as happy as making this turn in the SW Chutes, but happy nonetheless.



Thanks Marcus and pipedream!

Everybody who keeps their photos on Flickr is invited to post their best pictures to the Backcountry Skiing group.

Great explanation pipedream, thanks -- I'll add this to the Photo Posting Guidelines at the top of each month's TR section.

Every image on the Web has a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). There's much confusion between a URL and a URI - a URI is actually the full string from "http" to the file extension (e.g. "jpg", "png", "gif"). When embedding a photo in a message board post you want the URI of the image (e.g. " farm9.staticflickr.com/8282/7512048150_5fe792f065_b.jpg ").

You can find this in most modern browsers by right-clicking the image and choosing "View Image Location" or "Copy Image Location". For example doing this on the logo in the upper-left corner yields the URI " www.turns-all-year.com/tayshad75.gif ". Then all you need to do is put the URI of the image between a pair of

Code:

tags and you're good to go:

For example:

Code:

[img]http://www.turns-all-year.com/tayshad75.gif[/img]
