Flickr

Since Flickr was recently updated I seem to be unable to post a photo. I had no problems before this change? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

When you say unable do you mean you can't find the new link locations or that your links are no longer working?

I can't find the link locations... I think I like old flickr better.

Everybody always says they like old versions of websites better-- We'll all eventually get used to it. For now, I just click on the picture, right click, choose the size image I want, right click on it, and copy the URL.

I'm waiting for a greasemonkey script or something to be updated to make it slightly easier.

Aside from losing the link locations the new flickr (which as far as I know is still in testing you can still revert to old flickr) I think the upgrade has overall improved the interface - preview picks are bigger and more of the screen is used.

For sharing pictures there are 2 methods with the new version:
HTML Code
1) click on the "share this" drop down menu
2) from the list that appears select the "Grab the HTML" line.
3) Select the size that you want to share from the little dropdown menu
4) copy and paste the HTML code that is shown

URL
1) click on the "Actions" drop down menu
2) go about half way down the menu to "View all sizes"
3) in the new page click in the image size that you want the url for
4) once the image has loaded right click on it and go to properties/image properties (different browsers will have slightly different wordings).
5) in the little window that opens copy the "Address" line - that is your direct url for that size of this photo.

Note some browsers will have a "Grab/copy" url command when you right click so you can use that if you prefer.

Note 2 the URL link in the share this drop down does not link to the photo alone but to the photo page itself. So if you want people to view the page in your flickr you can use that link; whilst if you want to embedd the image into the forums (or a blog) or direct link people to the image alone use the url method outlined above.

I love this forum; the nicest group on the net. Thanks Overread; I was copying the link from the Share This drop down and it wasn't showing my photo. I followed your instructions and bingo, back to posting photos. I do like the new Flickr; especially the view on black!
