Not our pciture but nearly identical to our view from Studio SXM balcony

Guess i didnt domsomething right

Eric in his post said the ability to posting the forum is not yet working

With the image tag, you need the full .jpg address. I do not know that google images allow you to do that?

I tried from Google photos before and it won't display directly

The ability to upload directly to the regular forums is not available yet. Meaning that is takes a lot more stuff on my end to make happen. Our testers did a fantastic job, so now it is just me making it happen. The photo galleries are stage one, and the direct forum uploads is stage two.

But also working on another thing to two at the same time.

It will come pretty soon. But also the same basic process for doing the gallery will apply to the forum attachments. And the gallery is easier to do the first time, so that is why I started them first. That and you can also link to the gallery photo in a post now even using the image tag.

That is what I thought, but was not sure. Many sites prohibit pulling to another site. Which I understand completely.

Photobucket on the other hand, that is what they set out to do. But guess the load was too much and that is why they changed their model completely.

Ok...I may have figured out the Amazon/Google photos thing. Open the pic in whichever....download to destop (or another location) and just upload that pic....worked just now with Amazon

Just one more intermediate step

This really helps since, for most smartphone users, there is an option to have their pics are auto-uploaded to both services
