Image Hosting Site

I have tried the Amazon Cloud, but it constantly locks up when I try to batch load. Hopefully you have better luck.

Surely some employees need to be beaten for this.

Open a photo, click the share icon, click get shareable link.

I want an embeddable

I want an embeddable link or similar that I can upload to here...similar to photobucket.[/QUOTE]

This is what I was hoping for too, and am not finding. That direct embedding link was very handy.

I am *old school* so have stuck with Photobucket for now...

Crap, and here I thought photobucket was the shitz.

...works fine for this low tech one finger keyboard novice.

Here is a workaround. Albeit a PITA.

1.Open your photo in Google Photos. Right Click on it and choose "Inspect Element"
2.The HTML will appear in the bottom, in the highlighted section is the Direct Link to that image. It will be right after the "src=".
3. Paste that link inside the BBcode that hunt talk uses (

). Don't use the parentheses, I just used those so you can see the BBcode

Your image will then display.

Ok I'm not that computer savy but why is an image hosting site necessary?

Ease of linking to websites like this.
Secondary storage in case your computer poops the bed.
Ease of sharing files with other and not be inhibited by email size.

Flickr gives you the code to post in forums... Go to share, select a medium size (so that they don't explode the threads - enormous photos are annoying to scroll through) and then copy the bbcode. Paste it in your post and that's it.

Gives you lots of storage, plenty of people here on HT use flickr too.

Thanks I learned something new today.

Good to know. I'm pushing it now so we'll see what happens.

It uploaded 1.5 gigs for me in one setup. Was it bigger than that that you were having problems?
