The first one does not display. It doesn't display on the other thread either.

Henner - Bill Allen seems to have solved the problem on his "Building the John Wilkes" thread. You might touch base with him and see what he did.

Now can anyone tell me how to use google photos to insert a photo onto chat?
Nothing seems to work

Jerry,
this was a matter of trial and error. I don't know how I exactly did it, but I'll try to retrace.
First I uploaded the images to Google Photos. I tried to make them public, but they did not show up on the forum. Next step was to create a new public album (this is where it gets kind of blurry) and copy the pictures into this album. Now it is just a matter of opening the image, copying the image location and insert them via the image icon into MLS.
Regards

Thanks Henner I appreciate it. I was using Picasa web albums for a long time but they were bought by Google photos and all transitioned there. I am not fond of some of the interface. I can display photos in the forum with the share function but chat had just not worked which is too bad as dropping in a photo to illustrate a point was a lot of fun. Off to Photo Bucket for that now I guess.
This is from GP if it works



which it does not, sigh

and another test

Oh this is odd..
The failed photo insertion was a right click, copy image address, paste to the post using the photo button, failed from my Vista desktop

But the mine photos that worked were rt click on photo....etc...and worked, both from Google Photos but from laptop Win 7
AND on the desktop, from Picasa, clicking on web albums you have to login to GP even tho the desktop is already logged into GP.....but on the laptop clicking on web album brings you right to GP "archived albums"
Geeeze, such fun
