Posting pics from flickr

That's great Larry! Glad it clicked for you.
And yes, it is a little fiddly. It took me some time to figure it out.

It took me some time to figure it out.

Thanks Bob for figuring it out for me and hopefully anyone else who is struggling with it

Did the core drilling kill the old oak tree?

 

[alke46]

No, it apparently doesn't bother them. Don't know what the driller person does to ensure the tree remains healthy.

As seen in the larger photo, green leaves still in upper limbs

I could be wrong, as I often seen to be, but I believe when they core-drill a tree, they use a hollow bit that is about 1/4" diameter that will pull out a sample that shows the "rings" of the tree. Sort of like a long skinny hole saw.

That way they can count the rings and see how old it is?? Too small to really do any harm I guess???

I think you are right Ron. I have seen footage of something that looks pretty small like you described

Just wondering, should I delete this thread now that I finally got it, or leave it here so it could be a help to others that struggled like I did?

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Definitely leave it here. New people, and even old-timers, are often asking the same questions. This just adds to the info in the archives. And the title of your thread is good for a keyword search.

 

[alke46]

Ok, will leave it here.

Best suggestion I would offer anybody needing help is to look back at posts #9 and #12.

Two very helpful posts from Bob aka Baatfam.

I just found a different Suzuki forum to post my pics with zero hassle, I've no patience with the convoluted system here of finding a fiddly photo hosting site.

Browse photo folder, click and post, that's how simple it should and can be.

Link to other forum?

A quick look at the staff directory tells me this is primarily a European Suzuki group.

 

[wyly]

It's international mostly european but there are also Canadians, Americans, Aussies, kiwis everyone is welcome. I'm also not the only GS resources member there. Only requirements to join are "read and obey" the rules and have a thick skin the comments/humour can be blunt but it's all good.

If you like following build projects it's a great forum, there are some amazing projects that should interest any Suzuki owner.

I posted a site here once with a workaround but Bob's way looks easier... I don't think they offered that back then

I noticed this thread and figured that I'd throw in another method of getting pics in a post. I am assuming that with Flickr that you can get the URL to the pic. There are many ways of getting this URL but the methods will differ whether you are on a PC or a laptop. For instance I grabbed this Flickr URL from a post listed above - https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51329223580_f9da88944b_c.jpg/. Once you have the URL then click on the Image icon in the toolbar of this editor. It's the icon that looks has a mountain and a sun in it. A box will pop up so then enter the URL and whatever other params you want. Click OK and the image should be in your post. You can resize to whatever size you want. If you need to tweak the pic in your post just double-click on the pic.

For me, that's pretty easy. The trickiest part is getting the URL for the picture. Some websites do things to stop you from doing that because linking a photo like that causes traffic on their websites without you actually being on their website. Most things like Flickr don't stop from what I can see. I hope this helps.

The Flickr mobile site doesn't have the bbcode.
You have to use the dropdown in the mobile to switch to the desktop version. See post #12.

Thanks Frank. Much appreciated.
