Help please

Hi all, newbie alert!!
Trying to upload pics from Flickr and was given advice yesterday but being a complete thicko I am failing miserably...
I was told to look for the square with the arrow coming out of it to the bottom right of the picture but all I see are icons for favorite, share and download so therefore no link to copy, where am I going wrong?

Like this...

The problem is that I am not seeing that box even when I look at other peoples photos on flickr...

Its not working for me right now either, flickr possibly broke.

are you getting the same as me with just the 3 boxes that I mentioned? Strangely I can see the box now but cannot click on it. On my laptop last night I could not see it at all and yet another user managed to post up one of my pictures to show me how to do it!!

[RobDickinson]

Yes, its the centre icon, an arrow, not working.

Not for me, if I click on my link to my pictures in the car photos thread no arrowed box shows on any of my pictures, just the 3 symbols I mentioned earlier, this is doing my head in!!

Where is the HTML code and photo file link?

The HTML code to embed a photo in a web page that you used to find on the All Sizes page is now only in the Share menu on the photo, to the left of the More menu. We now also include BBCode! (standard message board code)

There are a few cases where the code may not be available: 1) If the photo is restricted. 2) If that person has turned off "Share this" or access to original files.

The direct link to a photo file is no longer shown on the page. Per the Flickr Community Guidelines "pages on other websites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr." Linking directly to the photo file doesn't do this.

According to this it should be in the Share menu, but the Share menu doesn't seem to want to do anything. I don't have an account to test it further.

Seems to suggest there may be some rolling problems.


There may also be some wider core Internet issues creeping into play.
