In the past with Flickr, I've always used 2000 on the long side. They all loaded OK? I'll replace the image with a smaller one Gav, thanks.

They would have been auto resized in the past, the forum update now seems less forgiving of oversizes.

When I used Flickr, I used to upload shots at the expected export size (1024px for here) so it (Flickr) didn't resize and resharpen the images (which tended to introduce visible haloing).
 
Was struggling yesterday with this. So images to Flickr also need to have a max 1024 on the longest edge - I cannot recall a method of downsizing from Flickr.
 
I always upload at full size and resolution to Flickr and then choose a BBCode for max 1024 for linking from TP. I haven't noticed what Nod referred to but don't doubt what he says - my images aren't probably good enough for it to be noticeable! It's a good point though, because there's no need to put eg 8Mb image files onto Flickr, just the size you need for online viewing.
 
I too am having a hard time with Flickr uploads.

Seems I always get URL text with the images see HERE
just using the BBCode in the insert link icon.

I've no idea what that is / why that should be.
as long as you follow THIS there shouldn't be an issue.
