How do I get a Flickr signature?

[sam_cat]

Just been asked this by someone on here, so thought it would be useful to post as a tutorial:


This did take a bit of figuring out when I did mine (just the other day, so its still fresh in my head!), let me try and take you through it:

Go here:
http://bighugelabs.com/profile.php

Enter your flickr email address or screen name into the box.
Choose the options you want (I left it alone)
Click Preview
Copy the code it generates

You now need to edit the code

Now, the code you have is HTML, and for the forums you need BB code..

Go here:http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/html2bbcode/
Paste the code in, click convert, then copy the code

Load Talk Photography
Click MY TP (on the bar at the top)
Click edit signature
Paste...

Preview.. Done!!!

Thanks Sam :clap::clap:

[Janet S]

Well, that was relatively easy. Nice one Sam!

I've struggled to get this to work for ages.

[Phil789]

Thanks for this :thumbs:

[Sadlybrokeboy]

Oooooooo cheers for this - apparently I've had a photo explored - didn't even know that!

[michael23]

thanks for posting that, worked a treat and nice and easy too. :thumbs:

[Squawk]

Oooh fun. I've had a go too, but it takes quite a while to load for me it seems. Perhaps just a quick glitch.

#edit
Ahh, seems to be working now, and much faster. Hmm, Lot of golf shots there, might have to make this more random

[BobC45]

Nice one - cheers

[BobC45]

I now also understand that to combat spammers you have to type in a certain number of characters for the Sig to show, excuse me while I babble just to see if this works.

Grim weather up here today, flat, grey skies, not the best...but the dog enjoyed the walk all the same.

Aha - it works

[*gold*]

Many thanks, lets see if it's worked............Drum roll........
Best wishes
Cliff

Oh dear :(

[ShropshireLad]

[ShropshireLad]

[PXH_Blackmagic]

[PXH_Blackmagic]

lets try this again!

[kata eos]

thats fine

[six2]

thank you thats brill

[raptors]

It worked for me, thanks ;)

[faddius]

Testing, Ive been wondering how to do this for a while :)

I dont suppose anyone knows of any simple methods of making banners for other websites like this flickr one?

Would be nice to stick a banner for my blog somewhere on my flickr profile.

[Snipet]

NOTE: replace these brakets () with []

Insert a link:
(URL="<insert web address here>")<Change this bit next>(/URL)

In the bit where it says <change this bit next>, Delete anything thats writen there, then click add picture button. It should now look like this:
(URL="<Insert Web Address Here>")(IMG)<Insert Picture URL Here>(/IMG)(/URL)

You will now have the picture in your signagure, which when clicked links to what ever address you put in I.E. My GD Photography pic in my signature linking to my flickr set page.

[ruffdog64]

nope nothing, why?

[ruffdog64]

Trying again

[nick.baker]

Does it stick at what you have or does the picture/contacts/slider go up as you add more?

[ruffdog64]

When i follow the instructions up to preview i get the photos and my flickr name and when i save the sttings it it stips working

[Keith88]

Testing 1, 2 ........

*Edit* Some more testing ...... Mindless babble to see if it shows up ...... If not, I'm going to look pretty dumb!

*Edit**Again* Wohoooooo :D

[nick.baker]

Mine isn't working for some reason

[4737carlin]

O top stuff, gonna sort this in a bit, i did wonder how people did that type of thing, cheers for the info!!

[Cobra]

Mine isn't working for some reason

Your signature only works once per page and you have already had that (post #23) ;)
Also there is a minimum requirement of "characters" before it will appear anyway.

[Quoth, the Raven]

Thanks for that; I'd forgotten how to create the flickr sig.

[stument]

Testing mine.... :bat:

Edit - Hmm no show, yet in the Preview Post it shows??? :help:

Edit Edit- Seems to be showing now, Thanks for the guide! :clap:

[elf_1988]

Testing, testing,

[dinners]

Well I gave it a go but had a few glitches along the way so might need to try again.

[swiftflo]

I tried this also but when I convert from html code all I get are the words "bbcode", and nothing works.

Okay cracked it.

[doublem1]

Mine shows in the preview but not when I post...

[p3ryg]

Right going to try this and going to gabble a bit if I read the previous posts correctly -

I wonder if that's enough gabble

[p3ryg]

OK as above stats Widget refreshing - guess this is normal for a while ?

Bit more gabble as it doesn't seem to show before this gabble or does it only show on one post per thread

[p3ryg]

OK sorted and used random choice on the options - wonder if you have to gabble on posts though for it to show :-)

[Cobra]

It will only show once per page,
and that assumes that the required amount of "characters" are written in said post.

[Sonriendo]

Let's see if I've got one or no

Obviously not been talking enough on this post. Will try a bit more

Uh yes there it is :D Dosen't show my explores though - and I've had some :D - in my Flickr ho days!!!
