rastas Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I am getting very frustrated with this , I am not very good with computers but I have been able to figure out how to post pictures on other slot car forum sites . I use Google photos on my phone isn't that a photo hosting site? Why do these computer programmers make things so complicated when it could be so much easier! I bet there are a lot of people who are in the same boat as me and just give up on the site because of this. pS. What's a URL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Uniform Resource Locator (URL) In your case the address of the photo eg: https://myphotohosting.site.au/photo1.jpg Edited September 2, 2021 by dangermouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastas Posted September 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Thanks David for your help, but I can't find anything like that in Google Photos, I'm buggered if I know! On the other sites I just press the icon it takes me to the disired place and I upload or download not sure witch, the pictures or take a picture and job done. Looks like I'll have to wait until someone I know can show me what to do! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) I went into Google Photos - clicked on the photo so it opened and then right clicked on the photo and chose copy image address. Hopefully the image loads cheers David Edit: Google Photos don't seem to last Edited September 28, 2021 by dangermouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 DM when I open your post to inspect the image address It get the http thing then lh3.googleusercontent.com/Zbg5jinU4AynWHFByelZPIOdDFqcaTBvSf5m3z1imHy4PRqMex0wW3YcjJmhwHlxwXqvP2LkSROCG60f76PdQk0nAo1XQ0GbaB3HgbYcj1lJ6qyR-z7uMCllfmeYpI4S_1A0yBfT1Y9wu7ZBWWEWfAsa8neGDfWTR3NMRXFIVe_lCNHfHyTb-BoTLkXe3T5ldxTNGxMRVjutlDqkLb2A8ir7QFkVfRViHfW2jXSQNBhOw3jI-KiX4D1KNcQEJ8U_f87Ivgp1GUIefZOAiXnCUoYF7y2Vwg0FlCnmZ_lH8xGGyIXo1KmOdA5EBKlhgc16lTVgVevSekQGiomWzXMr1L_BG1zkWm17wtkaAFE4BMNLtXd3NP39vl3kiyNsA80YeVdZ83LI5X5VjmX-wPK0PPGgj2PxHONteEFy3ZvcFckvaZZ2cIii5uHGpSqoAQG-QVsDsKDhPXKs9ufS09fw2mNPSA9ZUGt9ZSvt36XAQOaRNIod5LgNd4uNa9gGp8bstYBaAlDSBFP1Vj4NKbLsoFi5sjm3znhbgIrakw8bUudtTjU6GCcLxE30R846onPJFmenXNAmXm7f6S5T15k3q6gnkor6yvFfDjmnsdD6K0s-xGmQUtWL01K4kAcErLkMU4jXJHdMr-KTFkaNusSI5VoEgLS8gQByUqef25FIlK7vPil3GqYLxJFjKbCWsZvJ5XpEZO3baXYUVY5VCVlZoPQ=w1067-h800-no?authuser=0 So either Google pics invalidates image address linking somehow, or what you copied wasn't the image address ... Try doing the same again, but pasting it into a new browser tab, just to see what you get Quote Recovering Lapsed Slot Addict * Custodian of many used screws (mostly loose ) * Total kidder * Companion of other delusional slot addicts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermouse Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) Ok I see a photo of the car on my screen so that is interesting.... when I paste the url into a new tab I also get the photo. I then copied the text from your post above and pasted it into my browser tab and the photo loaded as well.... must be a google photo thing.....because I am logged in. I use the Share - create a link option in Google Photo - can you open the link below? I can't seem to paste it into the Insert Image from URL window. https://photos.app.goo.gl/LNasocSxRA4ZaCuo9 I don't think google photo wants us to post images on forums. Can you see a yellow Dino below? I pasted that photo from my Facebook photo library Edited September 3, 2021 by dangermouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangermouse Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 So I assume that means you can see the Dino - but no one can see the Cobra? This is a photo I shared to a Facebook group. The Dino was in my album. Testing to see if I can share a photo I posted to a group as well. Hopefully you can see two cars?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
