Flickr help please

[caj1311 (Cindi)]

Hi all,
I have created a flickr account to try and get past the file size issue - but I am not sure how I then connect my thread post here to the Flickr account photo. Can someone help?
Cheers!

You can only post a link to your flickr photo.
External photos don't show as photos on forum posts, that feature has been disabled.

Sorry - I am a bit of a techno novice with some things - so I posted a link to my Flickr picture in the nightscape photo forum - is there some way of generating a thumbnail image so that anyone who might be interested can see what they are clicking the link to? My actual photo is JPG about 36000KB - what is the best way of getting that onto this forum (I assume you have to compress it somehow, but I am not sure how!!)

Only way to have a thumbnail in the post is to upload directly to IIS using the "Manage Attachment" button when posting a reply and the image must be below 200kb.
To reduce you images use something like Photoshop or any of the many equivalent image processing programmes to reduce the file size down below this limit.
