isaneng Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Ok. I'm a spoon. So, I go to the 'insert images from URL' button, copy paste the https thingy from google photos, but no pic. I am obviously a buffoon and have no small children who can explain what is second nature to them... Damn those pesky kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Don't use the insert images from URL button, just paste the link given by your hosting site straight into your message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhouse Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 If I click your link I get a 404 errot. Google Photos often behaves in unpredictable ways so I really can't help. If you move your photos to a photo hosting site (such as Flickr, village photos etc) you'll find it's all very simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just paste the link directly into your post. I hope that helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just asking me to sign into Google photos. I'm not sure, as I don't use them, but are there any options to create links for people to see? You need something like "direct link" or "URL", but remember that the forum software is looking for a .jpg, .png, or .gif extension at the end in order to automatically process the pics.

If you are following the instruction I posted above and your photos are in albums on Google Photos, the image address should look more like the one below. When pasted, normally the photo will appear, but I've just shown the link this time. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Qb5zz_xV6hrOA9PIy-tMt5V4ffL5OF_nQvvZQMOsqCGWbfKhiC0M8nQUch6APN-1WrM2OWq88iop3OaaWzrhbbjxrr-4nRMJ4JIdwxXXSUxY8J_zfqsjqS3AX3ErjvrUjwFZbuITkA1jmv1OfCqeYJcNhKuvmHjse6ShodKhPxpBRnP2QNAr8_Vrd3NdHEIj868KV7ZxHuhrL1IOMCTD-L0KlDfyPJoDz6G8NcUIsEfnBvD32zjjz47c24djeoV-keeiZoNCJuRyMbVax7zvSRGI3CP_9w8M-KVV5nA1L1D0T33J5XJOkRGmW-yIrOZ3sb23IiWDtqjjFl92ASAx9CfuA2UJReYUA8llXp96omtL9GskgRy9YKDozZmvoTZmVjYYK8pTjjkswI7jHYUjk8zSbaRs8j5bNiCqEaSvRRWBsLsuBCDOL_liaHdcSm-uzV_IjRCf3hGKo7BIt7J4NU3BMayYVfEykWRJ9R6xES0wMj7APHWRuIr9Q1U7zUWk1oCWldqM6RSJfWaFXJySh883kwMC3DOkoeSwnGmKHaQkwE-ORWBv-rn9JAb9eSVM_mCGMZQLxViCpoqCXLYhKZ3bPdIxxEZ5SyBInp8sgvdpS-pv789qno9CpbYuc3VabfsNUE6obkYqgsPePEIj8DOxMvrDX5c=w1429-h1071-no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 When I follow that link, it takes me to a blank page that just says "These aren't the droids you're looking for." in text. I think you're not picking up the correct link somewhere along the line I'm not a Flickr user though, so there's not much more I can say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 The flickering grey square has turned into a picture (albeit a small one) of a Lanc. That's progress at least. I think maybe you have selected the thumbnail option to copy & paste? Normally posting a photo is as simple as pasting in a URL and watching the forum interpret that into a photo. It's getting the correct format from their photo hosts that most people with problems seem to encounter. Have a good long look at the Flickr screen and examine each option carefully. All you need is a URL that will show just the picture at a decent size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
