bjtieman Posted June 27, 2017 #1126 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Anyone know how to post an image from google drive/google photos? I've tried the add an image button using the share link from google drive but that just gives an empty box. I've also tried wrapping several variations of the share URL in tags but that just shows the URL and doesn't even make it a live link.

Aulanis Posted June 28, 2017 #1127 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Ok most places say it cant be done BUT for one or two pictures this is a workaround. Upload a picture to Google Drive /Google photos. Or obviously use one that is already there. Click it so it comes on full screen. Right hand top corner 3 dots = more actions Click Share Click get shareable link Open a new tab in your browser Put the shareable link in your browser and the picture should open. Right click on the picture and select "copy image location." (really dont understand why you cant just right click on the original picture in Google photo but it just doesnt work. Go back to CC and use insert picture and paste the link you get from "copy image location" ( it should still be in memory so (control + v) should do it Let me know how it goes (yn) AND A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted June 29, 2017 #1129 Share Posted June 29, 2017 How do I make my pictures smaller so I can post them........please show me an easy way?

When you go to post, click on the mountain icon, not the paper clip. You don't want to add the picture as an attachment. That is what the paper clip does.

Jimbo Posted June 29, 2017 #1133 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The thing is I took the picture off my computer and sent an email to myself. I sent it via an attachment from my computer to my phone. I then opened it up on my phone. When I click the mountain thing on cruise critic the picture does not show up in the picture gallery on my phone. I only see the picture I sent to my phone when I click the paper clip in my phone picture gallery. So it still sent it as an attachment to cruisecritic and it's still to large.

Aulanis Posted June 29, 2017 #1134 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) I know nothing about phone apps but Is there some reason you dont post it straight from your computer? via photobucket. The limit on size in CC makes it so that your picture is so small and of such low quality its a waste of time.

Jimbo Posted June 30, 2017 #1139 Share Posted June 30, 2017 So far only way I was able to save a picture was with my wife texting me a picture from her phone to my phone..........I was then able to hold my finger on the picture and save it to my picture gallery. Still can't seem to save a picture emailed to me to my phone's picture gallery. So I'm still pretty much having the same issue as before.

Aulanis Posted June 30, 2017 #1141 Share Posted June 30, 2017 If it is an iphone then this? How to Save Photos from Text Messages on iPhone Open the text conversation with the image in the Messages app. Locate the image you want to save. Tap and hold the image until options appear.

Rare bobmacliberty Posted July 1, 2017 #1143 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm a victim of the Photobucket change that prevents hosting photos there for viewing here on CC. I created a Shutterfly account but can't get photos to appear here when wrapping the shared link in img tags. How do others use Shutterfly to host their CC photos?

Aulanis Posted July 2, 2017 #1144 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Hi - I dont use shutterfly - yet! oddly my pictures on this site are still showing???? Maybe next time I log into PB that will change. I guess a lot of people will be asking this over the next few weeks - this thread makes it look TOOOOO easy but will be great if it works. Let me know :) http://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1714741 EDIT - Also the pics in the later posts on that guide are held at PBucket and they are still ok Perhaps I should say that I have not paid the $399 Also perhaps have a play on the TEST forum before you go live. http://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=225 Edited July 2, 2017 by Aulanis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
