Well it seems to work for now,

Cormanus, i opened a ggogle pics account,( whilst signed in ) uploaded the picture, which appeared and got full size when i clicked on it, tried to copy and paste from the http thingy ( adress bar ) and failed.

Today i signed in to the account again, and on the top are some symbols, one looks like a " < " with rounded ends, it states" share" and when left clicked it produces a copyable link.
I copied it and pasted it into the post and it seems to work, the link is different from the one in the adress bar, so it could be the public one they use.

For now; cheers max

The link takes you to the picture on Google Photos, but you can't embed it on the forum.

For what it's worth, I've found that, if the URL doesn't end with ".jpg" (no quotation marks) it is unlikely to embed successfully.

Phew youre fast, i hadn't finished typing yet, but thanks for the tip.

 

[Cormanus]

Just lucky that time.

Since Photobucket moved from hosting photos to extortion, many have opened an Imgur account which allows easy photo sharing. I've been using PostImage which is also OK.

Playing with imgur now

see what happens

Right, seems the " bb code " button seems to have the desired effect.

Apologies for playing live, guys

A bit of autumn color, not the 1100 ( which is hibernating as is the owner ) but still a cb

Inspired by kevin's ( very nice bokeh ) but just not in his league

Max,
My friend and his twin 1400cc Suzuki Intruder in Adelaide are hibernating as well, and I always tell him, "Richard, I wish I had winters in Canada as you do in Australia"
... and now I know why you have so much time for online troubleshooting
Keep :biker:

So... this is copied from Google Photo's and pasted here. As said above it is not embedded in the thread, But what doses that mean. Doesn't that save the cb1100 server some space?
Jim

Edit: It works for me , but then Google Photo's recognizes me and shows me as 'signed in'.

That's right, Jim.
It does save a lot of space on the server, in your case the picture is not visible in the thread, in my case i have to click on the ( red ) link to make it visible as opposed to with imgur which opens with the photo visible and the option to click on it which will show you a picture in a new window which can be clicked again to show an even bigger part of the photo depending where you click,

If you're interested here is a description of posting with imgru or use another provider;
http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=12717&pid=207010#pid207010

No affiliation, just another option for the forum and thanks for the pictures.

Cheers max

 

[tinboatcapt_imp]

Thanks Max. At least I can include an active link to photo's.

tinboatcapt, just to be clear, linking to a photo hosting site like Imgur displays the photo in the thread, but does not use space on Guth's server—or, very little anyway. Linking to photos that actually display is much easier for readers who don't have to head off to another site to see them.
