A test to see if I can link photos from my Google cloud like I do from photobucket.

So far can't get it to work like Photobucket where you can just paste the link in your post and the pic displays. The photo is clickable if you "share" it in Google photos. I'll mess with it some more.

This is the procedure to post a photo from your google photos:
1. Open up the image you want to post in Google Photos 2. Right Click on the image and choose "Copy image address" 3. Past the image address into your post on the 2A page 4. At the end of the image address you will see a "-no" (without the quotes) 5. change "-no" to "-tmp.jpg" 6. Put the IMG codes at the beginning and end of the image address. ... This is an example: |

Jeff,
I'm trying to do this from the google photos app on my iPad. The URL that I get is the one in my first post here. I can't find any other URL, nothing that that ends in -no. |

1. Click on the link you provided in your first post.
2. Right click on picture and choose "Open in new window" 3. Right click on that image and choose "copy" 4. Paste that link into your post: "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/AGuzOT7u9at8JeaZOl1fq2_InqcyeCXmxvTjSfkalgjxG9pbLWRy3unt_Tl_0XQzU1hpm1ILawyvOF3dWE6HUwyMQFbgWERD6in87Xw6NUfVD0UcsoEfE_Ttx2DN-qGNLzqWf8WCSVGOS5imnFwt87acmEaugLPRbm3ySG0MOgSgnabcXtGOpm5Fvd6R6EMMMmFAi_YgSeJxMt8j5ihE0PGMjVIQNBW9Dp6bN76D7tfFq-jwDlDCAX9aSeqK6rdBVPBSdH9V8N2hOcEtPbEjiE2RwzjNe3z1dli065982AW9C1L2TWg5Bzf873bpARrCxGuQ2STRk-2VnVni5xMO2Gie5uyZslc-HB7ogciE7J5qmsxdzBVVLDYbYmolmBk52fJbpek4vznYkfCLGLLtWkVgVNZSSf5hHAsNL4ShKwf9C8Wht09MkKJ5H1K8cQJghA30OHINDYyJ5ZTD1e6Pisngr_1m_17UUtfB__3N9pOGZ7aQdPgAriCMYT8J0fMAtMxMVDop6sZt9zBJSvE4m6wm0Mm7-GyX8rdJPAEswsDoMY56Xo79N4RI_6vPnCvLcxEkSIV3Mw-o23cmW78GkWfrZXwwPQVtkbriJz1evocnLca3Hg_K6JT8I9VitNojhSDyM-G456bj80xeGZOOhFggjkDyoRjcwj6OUoFCAQ=w1392-h783-no" 5.

Can't make it work, but that's ok.
I was hoping for an easy way to post my photos that are automatically backed up to the google cloud, but google has made it such a pain that I will just keep sending them to photobucket and posting that way. Thanks for messing with it for me. Edited by smfulle - 29 Mar. 2017 at 2:51pm |

Searching for an option to PhotoBucket. I was able to get this to work using Jpets formula. It takes a few extra steps, but does work. Especially helpful if your photos are already in Google Photos.

Changes to the code must be accurate. After deleting "-no" ... no spaces between the end of the existing code and the newly added "-tmp.jpg" Don't forget to add the "IMAGE" stuff at beginning and end of the code. Edited by athawk11 - 03 July 2017 at 8:44pm |

Stan,
You missed the "/" at the front of the IMG inside the brackets on the end of the code. [/IMG] The front doesn't use the /. [IMG] only.

Interesting. I posted these photos using my PC at work and could see them.
I couldn't see the photos I posted while viewing this page from my iPad. I had to add the Google Photos app to my iPad to see them. |

It works if I do it from a PC. Still can't get it to work from my iPad. Guess I'll have to save my file manager space for field posting and use the Google Photos thing for stuff from home (or work, but who would every do that?)
Makes couch posting impossible. Guess I'll have to get my fat butt off the couch and into the office where the PC is. |
