Pix from Flickr Come Out Doubled And As An Album
 

I don't think I made any changes- but when I attempt to post a Flickr link- I get the link from the Flickr share button- as far as I can see, I didn't change any settings...

The picture pastes in as text normally; when going to preview, it will show as normal; if you go to edit, it will show as normal, but once you click save or post- it shows doubled (with arrows that scroll through my Flickr feed)

I did post this very pic, with the same link (still copied on my clipboard), on another forum and it came out swell.

Any ideas?


This is a "preview post"

Hi, my suggestion is to post pictures as files rather than to post from a Flickr link. Posting from a link sometimes creates external issues that tech cannot replicate all of the time.

@The Golden Boy - I am having the identical problem and have stopped responding to messages if I want to post an example. The other option is to load from my pc which works fine but not all my pics ore on my local drive. Flicr is set up to upload my phone pics..
, on Flickr

Tried Chrome too, typically use Edge.
Could it be in the URL string that is copied?
Is this problem unique to bikeforums? Just did the same on NAXJ and did not have an issue. I think it is a problem with this site.

It’s something here- I copied the link from Flickr and pasted the link both here and at TalkBass from the same copy- it came out fine there, but not here.

I agree. I think it is a BikeForums. net issue..
I set an email to one of the administrators with a link to this thread.

Posting photos via link is not the recommended way to post photos. Because you are taking the photos from an external site, it is not typically an issue that resides within BikeForums itself. Tech has already looked into this issue and found that it is external. The example of the link working in one place and not in another is also another reason it was difficult to explore- oftentimes when posting a photo via a link it may post correctly one day, but incorrectly another. My biggest suggestion is to download the photos from Flickr- whether you are on your phone or on a computer, and post it via the upload button.
