Title: A possible problem with Flickr
Post by: cjk374 on May 20, 2017, 01:30:24 PM
Used to, there was a way to share pics using the BCC code. There is supposed to be an arrow in the bottom right corner to take you to it. Here lately, the arrow hasn't been there.

Am I doing something wrong?

It was there for me earlier today when I was linking stuff over on the Southeast Board and just with the Take-it-yourself Challenge.

If the arrow is "grayed-out", did you accidentally set the Safety Level to Restricted? That forbids sharing and therefore, BBCode.

Choosing a random recent photo of yours...it does work:

I can't choose the option for BBCode on my phone through the Flickr app.  Very annoying.

Safety level is on safe. I don't even see a gray arrow. This is occuring on both phone & tablet. There must be something askew somewhere.

I haven't been able to link photos from my phone from Flickr since the first week of May, when they removed the "mobile version" of the site.

I linked it from my PC.

Photobucket removed any ability to provide a code link from their app a year ago. And the PC version is very slow and buggy on occasion.

It has never shown a link on mobile for me, everything I referenced above I have been doing on my PC also.

Oh wait...tablets would be considered as a mobile device as well, right? I don't have a PC. All I have is my phone & tablet. Could this be the problem?

Judging by the thread, sounds like it.  My phone (Android) has an option in Chrome to request the desktop version of a site.  Perhaps that would work?

My phone pulling up flickr changed its application as now it don't show the upload date in a series of all text boxes but just the pics in a line.

You cannot even use the avitar anymore to edit as they are supposedly changing.
