    Hi,
    I can't see it in Newbies, is it possible to use my Google Photos account to insert photos into posts?
    Currently using Photoracket, I mean bucket, but they have stopped hosting images for free.
    Thanks in advance

    Are the URLs publicly accessible, or are there access permissions being applied to them?

    I have the album set to 'Share' under the Options on the album on Google. When I use the 'Create link' on the individual photos and paste that link into 'insert image' on here it just shows up as blank when I preview the post.
    This is the link I am trying to use

    That's because that's not a link to an image. It's a link, which is redirected to another URL, which is a page with the image embedded.

    Only a direct link will do, and it seems Google aren't providing one.

    I had another look there with this in mind. If you right click on the image and 'copy image address' it works. (I'm obviously a Motors forum person :pac:)
    Thanks for the help

    I checked from a fresh browser with no login, and it's showing okay. That suggests no permissions are being inflicted/enforced, so it should be okay to post those images in future.
