Question for the web savvy. Flickr guideline state that you can't just use it as a hosting site and embed the image from their servers into a web page, you must make the image link back to the photo page itself. So with each image they give you a big long stream of HTML code to achieve this.

However, as much as I can embed an image using the

Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

tags, how do you embed the photo into a forum post without using HTML (seeing as it's banned) and make it a clicky link too back to the Flickr photo page? It'll mean I only have to upload my images to Flickr as opposed to Photobucket too like I've been doing recently...

Advice welcome.

Cheers, Dave.

The way I got it to work (display the photo and link back to flickr) is like this:

{URL="http://flickr link from Method 1"}{IMG}http://farm...link from Method 2{/IMG}{/URL}

Replace the { } with []

There is a Greasemonkey script called AllSizes+ it will allow you to configure it to copy UBB Code with the link to Flickr. It's pretty good.
