Something shiny

[alke46]

Bear with me guys, I am just testing something. Been having issues trying to post pics on the forum from my Flickr account.
No problems with posting from the PC, but for some reason, I am not able to do it from my tablet.Untitled by Larry Alkire, on Flickr

Well now that is just plain stupid. It decided to work this time.
Friggin computers!!!!!!!

This is what I was getting when trying to post pics.

edit: this is what shows up after I click on the curved arrow. I get this instead of the BBcode.

Well that was short lived. It reverted back to the pop up page.

Anybody else had this problem? If so, what's it take to get it fixed?

Larry, I advocate just setting up your own website to host your pictures. If you aren't doing any commerce or interactive stuff you can keep one for about the same or less than the monthly fee for Flickr or Dropbox; at least that was the case when I stopped using them. I got tired of having to figure out how to make things work each time they 'updated' their services or policies.

For your immediate dilemma I am afraid I can't help.

Thanks Don, but you must have me confused with someone else who would know how to set up my own website. Besides, it can't be done for less money as I am using their free option.

On my tablet, I can open a previously used link that allows me to go ahead and post photos to this forum.
But if I don't go that route, and try going straight to the flicker log in, then I can't proceed.

I'm starting to think it might be something funky between my tablet and the Flickr site with the possibility of interference between those two and perhaps even this new revised GSResources wiring.
Here we go, everything is blamed on electrical gremlins......,

But thanks for taking the time to offer advice. I really do appreciate it.

Remember this thread Larry: https://www.thegsresources.com/_foru...kr#post1690705

I put this in there,

So there are two different mobile apps for Flickr. One is the Flickr app, downloaded through the play store or something, and a mobile browser version.
The app opens the app, which you cannot get the BBCode. But if I open my browser (Google) and go to flickr.com, I get a different mobile version.
The browser mobile web page, has a desktop site option (see below) under the three dots to the upper right. After you click it, you get the normal web site.

From my Motorola android phone:

Try that again, and let us know if it works.

Thanks Bob. I do remember you posting that tip before but heck, I have to go to bed every night and then when I get up the next morning, it's just as thought my illness has returned.
I've been battling this illness for several years now. It's that CRS illness. Can't remember sh!t.
