    Anyone who uses flickr might find this useful. Its a greasemonkey script that adds a third box to the 'all sizes' page with BBCode in it. BBCode is what boards uses to markup posts instead of HTML. So you can basically just copy the code directly out of the box and paste it into a boards post and your flickr image will be embedded correctly. IE ...

    You need to install greasemonkey (if you don't already have it) and then install the script from here:

    it still doesn't give an 800x600 size option though, which is a pain!

    Yeah that's true, that's a flickr thing though. Greasemonkey can only mess with what's initially presented on a page, it can't work magic :D

    Just copy and paste the <a href="http://ww.........pic name" /></a> code into the above from under flickr all sizes option. The photo then becomes clickable

    That's what I used to use, I had a quick bookmarklet on my firefox toolbar for it :-) The greasemonkey thing is much more convenient. Besides which, if you're using firefox greasemonkey is a must have. There are a tone of GM scripts for flickr for example, to make life easier.
