photo posting problem

[bbrock]

okay, I am trying to post a photo(s) to one of my threads. It is not working. I use Flickr b/c at one time I was told that it is easier to post photos from Flickr. What is the story now w/ posting from Flickr? Did the system change?

At the Flickr site on my desktop, when I go to a photo, I have this choice for sharing the photo:
Share 1 photo to:
Share Embed Email BBCode

When I cut and paste the BBCode for a square 75x75 into the quick reply in my TFP post in the add photo option, it tells me it is too large. For example, I am trying to post this:
@ 3000 RPM 2/21/16 by B Brockman, on Flickr

Previously, I was told to just use the cut and paste the following from that above BBCOde:
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1689/25153675286_dcba1e59b6_s.jpg
but I was also told to get rid of the _s at the end and have it end in .jpg
So it would be:
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1689/25153675286_dcba1e59b6.jpg

But, this is not working. I'll try now:
Did not work. Dialog box stated this: error: Remote file is too large

Help plz.

Wait. Weird. I posted that and now I see a photo from that long BBCode.

Let me try the Medium 480x640 BBCode:
@ 3000 RPM 2/21/16 by B Brockman, on Flickr

Okay. Looks like I figured out my own problem.
