HELP (pics)!

[Rob S.]

Desktop is broken, laptop is broken, iPad doesn't play nice with our new update. So it's just a "Samsung Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy S6 edge+" (phone).

When things were working with iPad, copying and pasting the code from flickr was hit and miss. Sometimes, a good few tries resulted in only a few words being pasted into the GSResources. The pic only arrives at GSR if I've succeeded in pasting four or more lines of code, an entire paragraph.

In our new update, on my phone, I've clicked on the paper clip, and been taken to a prompt for the address of the photo (I'm trying to post in 'pic of the week'). I suppose I could type 4 or 5 lines of code correctly...

Everybody (anybody) following? Remember, no mouse, no other device than this phone, and my flickr address of any photo is an entire address worth of code.

Rob, I don’t know hat you mean by “paper clip” but if you’re referring to the link icon in the toolbar, forget those tools, you don’t need them and they just make posting a picture more complex than it needs to be. Copy the BBCode of the image, paste it into the forum post, no toolbar tools are required. I made this video using a Samsung tablet and Flickr to help someone else, but take a look, much of this should look familiar. I found copying and pasting on the Samsung very clumsy compared to the iPad. Maybe this video will help.

I will let you know. And Rich, I don't forget that you were the one who taught me how to use flickr in the first place. So it's gratifying to see that the very first response was yours.

Rob, the best tip I got was from Bob (baatfam) and I think it will work for you.
On the flickr site, go to the upper right corner and you will see 3 vertical dots that will give you a drop down menu.

Scroll down to the desktop site and check the box. It will then act like you are on your desktop.

Hope this helps.

We all want you to stick around, buddy. Remember, I said, you’re like our favorite uncle. You know, the one that would get you beer when you were under age, and not tell your parents.

In a word, bullseye!
