Been having issues with my flickr account and this new site - it seems I can no longer post BBCode links blah

BBCode

It works, I can see the screenshot!

I've been having to use the direct link option recently to embed my links.  Cheers,

Yes it took several tries to figure out deleting the leading

[url=

and everything after

The community prevails!

Nice shot BTW which helo is that?

Yeah the last option which is just an https link works but the shot is so small.

You're saying the BBCode should work by deleting which parts?

That's an old pic from the HPG H160 - one of the best helis in any sim actually.

Second only to this one 🙂

So from Flickr I had edited the BBCode which contains the string below, which I didn't realise is quicker if you use "Share".

It would just have been a bit easier if AVSIM in changing the way it accepted screenshots, had mentioned HOW

But if you use that way the pics are very small.

I just pasted the "Share" link from Flickr and the forum software automatically embedded it as per above.

There's an offer while posting to "insert Image from URL", not sure what that does.
I guess you have to do whatever works on your system, a little bit surprising from a site like AVSIM?

Right, but BBCode used to work great - leaving a nice large screenshot for everyone - I've asked the admin here if something changed and I've asked Flickr support if something changed on their end.
