Okay, tutorial time (I've got a dark colour scheme set on my PC - don't let it throw you):

All of which gets you this:

Thanks but I don't have the arrow icon on my screen, got the slider, comments bubble, share icon and edit but not what you have on my Samsung tablet.
Doesn't show the BBCode either.

Ahh there's ya problem Mac ,,Flickr don't work on cell phones or anything else like that ,,i had the exact same problem with my phone which is a Samsung too ...you can load pics onto it but ya can't copy and paste em from it ,,i have to use a computer ,,laptop in my case to be able to upload pics to our site ,,,so i just use my phone as a hotspot and go from there .
When i got back on here coming back from the dead the guys helped me to no end figuring it all out and then the problem showed it's self ,,so i had to buy a cheap computer and get online with the free wifi at me local library

A new great deal from my cell provider sorted that problem out nicely

Thanks, Houston I have a problem! I don't have a PC or laptop at the moment. I'll stick with the links for now, maybe TEMU has a cheaper laptop that I can buy.
Thanks again for the information

Time to join the Royal Borough of Greenwich Library or look for the nearest Internet cafe or both.

What do COPY URL and SHARE AS LINK get you?

perttime · October 07, 2025, 02:00:17 AM

Copy URL does sound promising. Maybe.

McColm · October 07, 2025, 04:42:04 AM

I have used the Copy URL, but there's no BBCODE just https//flic.kr no photo shows when I insert the landscape icon but the icon next to it on the right allows the link. Click on the link and the photo appears, there's no jpg in the code.

I'm kinda stumped for now - sorry.

It does say in Flickr's help pages that some sharing options are only available via a web browser. It may be the case that it simply won't provide you with a BBcode via an app.
