Adding images from Google Photos

[Richie]

I'm probably being dumb but can you share photos from your Google Photos account on this forum?

I've tried sharing the image in Photos and copying the link into the IMG tags but it doesn't seem to work

Upload to Imgur and copy the BB Code, then add a h in front of the .jpeg to resize.

Yeah, use Imgur instead. Loads of people see a giant no entry sign rather than the actual image when the image is linked straight from a Google account.

Yeah ... google is one massive pain in the nads for this. I've "managed to get it working" before in that I can see the image on the forum and even when using a different browser on a different PC that isn't logged in - and STILL other people couldn't see the images. I came to the conclusion it was using my (router) IP address to decide whether to serve the image.

TL;DR; Use img bb.
