I have the Flickr app on my IPad with the photos on, I have clicked the insert image icon on this site and have copied the URL into the box, what am I doing wrong? It doesn't give me the option of a BB code on the app.

Has anybody copied photos from Flickr using an IPad?

Hi Whaley, didn't read your question properly, I dont usually use the iPad for posting pics, and when I checked I see what you mean, you dont get the BBcode option with the app! Its the same with my iPhone too, still works from the web though, I Will look into it and see if I can find it.

You're not alone ...
Not on Apple user, but this forum suggests a 'single finger double tap' as a solution to get the BBcode on an iPad -

I think the answer is you cant currently post photos from your iPad or iPhone, you will have to use a laptop or PC!

This is how i do it :-

Copy (Ctrl +C) the BB code from Flickr, then in the reply box on the forum i click on the globe/link icon, a box opens up but i don't use that i just click on the cross, the box disappears and then i paste (Ctrl +V), the code appears until i submit my reply and then the photo shows in the post.

I hope this helps you Whaley.

I have just used the above method and it worked for one of your photos Whaley.

I googled what BBCode means, as I didn't know, it is as follows

BBCode or Bulletin Board Code is a lightweight markup language used to format posts in many message boards. The available tags are usually indicated by square brackets ([ ]) surrounding a keyword, and they are parsed by the message board system before being translated into a markup language that web browsers understand—usually HTML or XHTML.[1]
