Hey Fox, Silverado and I were talking about your issue with posting pictures from Google

You can use Google Photos as a free image host for pictures you want to post on MSC.

You must have a Google email account for this to work.

All the images in this response are shared from Google Photos

Step 1) Go to Google Photos

photos.google.com/

Step 2) Create a new album by pressing on the Create Album button in the top right



Give your album a name and chose at least one picture to add to the album



Step 3) Add additional pictures to the album

SHARING

To share the picture(s) on MSC in a post do the following:

Step 4) In your Google Photo Album, click on the LEFT CLICK on the picture you want to share. The picture should open up on your screen.

Step 5) RIGHT CLICK on the picture and a menu should pop up, then click on COPY IMAGE ADDRESS



Step 6) On MSC, using the post editor click on the Insert Image Icon.



Step 6a) When you click on the insert image icon, a small dialog box will appear, PASTE the link you copied in Step 5 into the IMAGE URL line and press INSERT IMAGE.


This will insert a bunch of random-looking letters into your post…don’t worry about it that is just the link to the photo. You will notice the link to the image is contained within brackets [ ], don’t change anything inside the brackets.

Done! It sounds way more complicated to explain than it is to do. Let me know if you have any problems.

Ironically enough none of these pictures show up on my computer or phone.

Really? Does anyone else see them? They show up for me.

Just get the broken image icon on computer and box with question mark on phone.

Interested to hear if anyone else has this problem or if you are just a trouble maker.

Didn't work.
Are you pasting the links into the little landscape picture icon at the top of your post?

[fox]

OK! The first one didn't work at all. The second one you can see a photo. But I still can't send the photo itself, only a link to the photo. Trying to send photos as a new album didn't work either.

Jim
Sorry if this isn't the right place to experiment like this. If there is another place, let me know.

[fox]

photos.app.goo.gl/8iniZZTp5Lgxdr5t7

Won't know if this works till I send it,

Jim

[fox]

OK! I sent 3 photos as one link. The three photos came through but you still have to click on the link.

Well, at least I can send you all some photos finally but you have to click on the link to see them. I guess it's better than nothing.

Jim

[fox]

Sorry tcoat, I posted without looking. Haven't seen the landscape icon. I'll look a little harder.

Jim

[fox]

tcoat, tried the landscape but nothing happened.

Jim

[bradley25mm]

Welcome Jim! Glad to have you aboard. Looking forward to seeing your work sir.

[fox]

In case anyone is still following this thread, I thought I'd post some pics of my work over the years. Hope you enjoy them.

Hope they come out OK.

Stay safe.
Jim

[deafpanzer]

I can click on the links to see the pictures. But the images didn’t show up on the thread itself. I will try another way to see if it works or not.

[deafpanzer]

Hope it worked?

[lyle]

Hi JIm! Welcome.

[fox]

Dp, as long as you can see them, I'm happy. That shot is a diorama of the set for the show MASH that I restored for the WWII Museum in Moughton, Pa. Almost everything was coming apart. Took about 2 months to get it back in shape. Didn't notice I included a shot of my sneakers in the photo.

Stay safe.
Jim

[fox]

Lyle, thanks for the welcome.

Stay safe.
Jim
