Log in to Flickr then click on a photo. The curved arrow is at the bottom, just in from the corner. A box will pop up and you can right click/copy the URL (usually highlighted). Embed is at the top of the box, which is what I use to copy then paste here. I click on the photo, and it is highlighted with a pink edge. The only arrow I see is on the middle right and it shows things like social media and other options, but not one to send a picture. Not seeing any arrow on the bottom. I do see an option to add to groups if that is needed. I went to their help site and haven't gotten anywhere and now I can't tell if I'm logged on and where my pics are. I think I'm logged on, but no access to my pictures. Did they get erased/lost when I went to their help site. Maybe my pictures weren't downloaded properly to their site and is why no arrow? I thought I created an album with one picture, but couldn't enter the other pictures to it, now I can't find the album. Update, I was able to put one in the avatar area, but not sure how as I clicked it from my computer, not flicker as far as I know. |

Go to Flickr. Sigh in and/or join. Click on "you". Your photostream should show in the drop down box. If it doesn't, it's possible your photo wasn't "saved". Work on getting one photo uploaded first. Also, most sites require your email and a password to become a member...you might receive a mail asking you to click to finish.
After signing in, Click upload. (cloud with an arrow pointing up) Find something in your computer and click on the photo. It should appear on the screen. Click Upload one photo (upper right). Click continue to photostream. The picture should be there. Click on the photo.
The screen should turn black with the picture in the middle. The curved arrow should be at the page bottom.
Hang in there. You'll get it.

Okay, I now have them properly downloaded on Flicker as far as I know, and I see the curved arrow. This second time entering the pics was so much more time consuming and so many more clicks. Copying and pasting the pic URL to here does nothing. Could it be because I downloaded the pics as private as I would like control who sees them? I tried making them public also and still no luck.

In trying to help out Greg, I walked through the steps we presented in the current discussion and my photo wouldn't show after uploading either.  Normally, I upload to an album and my photos show up in my photo stream, but with just 1 photo, the photo wasn't showing up in the photostream.  So, that sent me down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how to get the photo to show up. The steps below are what I came up with. Maybe someone has a better way to do this? Greg did get to the point at which the image had a pink rectangle around it. Yay Greg! Here is a summary of the steps in one place. Sign in on the Flickr page Click on the cloud with the arrow icon top right corner Click on " Choose photos" in the center of your screen Click on " Your photo you want to upload". Clicked Open button (lower right) image with the pink frame is now visible Click on Upload 1 photo (upper right corner) Click on Upload button (center of screen) At this point, you won’t see your photo
Click on Camera Roll (Look a bit right until you see " Camera Roll") Look at the thumbnail of your photo Click on the opposing white arrows in the top corner of the thumbnail Click on the words “ View On Photo Page” (far right) Now your photo shows up surrounded in black.Click on the bloated arrow (lower right corner) Click on BBCode in the pop up screen if it doesn’t already have a blue line under it. See image below for locationo of BBCode. *Size of the photo can be changed. Click on down arrrow (small upside down triangle) Optimum presentation size is med 640 x 243 or the next medium size choice. (Don't use the size in the photo below.) I found this photo online just to show where the BB code is. 
Now click on link in the narrow long rectangle
It will have a blue back ground
Right click on the link with your mouse AND click Copy
Now, on VTT, go where you want to post your picture. Move your curser where you want to put the image
Right click and look through the pop up choices for "Paste".
Click on Post quick reply or Go advanced.
Try that and see if it works. Not our fault it’s a chore.
Go have a beer.

Here is a test pic that showed up as soon as I posted. I was posting the pic url on the "attach photo box" and didn't seem to work and then I posted on my message and then it worked. I think I have enough info to eventually get it on the first try soon. Thanks alot  P1010004 (9) by Greg McDowell, on Flickr |
