How to Post Images on BLF

As far as I know, this is correct.

EDIT:

I PM'd Mr. Admin as he probably knows for sure.

Right, it’s not possible to post a live spreadsheet, just tables. A Google or Microsoft online spreadsheet with public sharing permissions might be a good option.

Thanks for the reply’s
It’s as I suspected.
All the Best,

Thanks for the tutorial.
let me try …

Hmmm, I tried a bunch of tricks, but could not get your image to post. Best I could do was post a link.

Imgur

Normally an image link would end in the file name and image extension such as .jpg or .gif etc…

I can’t find any type of image link like that on the Flickr website.

Here is an example of what a typical image link would look like.

https://i.imgur.com/ssDe7TB.jpg

It’s got the website address and it ends with the image file name and the file extension.

You might try the Flickr app and see if it will give you a different image link. I don’t use Flickr but I do use Imgur and I notice that the phone app gives better links then the website does.

It’s this one:

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50323153962_c90d02d145_b.jpg

You need to find the link in the webpage’s source code. Not so easy sometimes.

Yeah, there you go. I’m on my phone so I don’t think I can go into the source code. You found it on a PC, correct?

Yes.

Yeah, flickr requires a few extra steps to get to the direct link, which is what you need to be able to display it correctly on BLF.

I failed and
don’t know what to do with Flickr.
How did you find that source code?

What about this :
(i tried Google drive) :

I don't see your image.

If you want a better chance of your image being visible, you need an image link that ends in .bmp .gif .jpg or .png

I’m on my phone too.
I’m traveling far away from home, no laptop/pc.
don’t have access to my pc/laptop. :person_facepalming:
I’ll try again later when I get home :smiley:

In firefox: Right click into page / select “show source code” from menu. Then search for “jpg”.

I need to get home and use my laptop then :smiley:

This won’t work either, and apparently the file is private if I’m not mistaken.

I have not followed the discussion closely, but is there a reason you’re not using imgur.com?

Google Drive makes it even harder than Flickr to uncover the actual image URL.

Try https://imgur.com/ instead.

I found this among hundreds of lines :
//live.staticflickr.com/65535/50323153962_c90d02d145_t.jpg”

Let me try again :

Another try :

EDIT :
edited to make it less messy…

^ that kinda works?

I’m sorry if I’m making trouble here.
here’s another try. With Flickr.
