Robert S Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hi Hopefully this one worked Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tailspin Turtle Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 That worked - how is it done? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert S Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hopefully it will hold up. I used my Google Photo account I used some information in this post to help me There was some messages on the 2nd page that helped (I think). Here is the relevant part. I know you are on Mac so may have to do it a little differently to get the URL. If you installed the Chrome extension I linked, make sure you have the picture in a Shared Album (that's the key - thanks dnl42). In that Shared Album, click on the selected picture to expand it, and then click again - you'll get a message at the bottom that says "Image URL copied to clipboard!". Then just go to ARC and paste into your draft post. Double click twice on the photo (while still in composition window), and you'll have option to resize by pixels.That's how I did the photos two posts above. I have been told it may get funcky after a few days so I am going to check out this site https://secure.fotki.com/login?finish=https%3A%2F%2Fpublic.fotki.com%2F&login= Recommended in another post i was reading Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Works for me now. Let's see what happens when I refresh the page... Works like a boss! Edited August 18, 2017 by Slartibartfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tailspin Turtle Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Robert - thanks for that. It doesn't appear to work that way in Firefox and I'm reluctant to load a third browser... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert S Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Firefox Picture test I used Firefox for this one. Assuming it works here is how i did it 1. Make sure image in in a shared album 2. Open image 3. Right click and choose "copy image location" 4. Go to your ARC post and paste the link 5. Double click on the image to re-size (if you want) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tailspin Turtle Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Ooh - that worked. Thanks very much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tailspin Turtle Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 It doesn't work over at Hyperscale though. The address is shown instead of the picture, at least on preview. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robert S Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Yea their board does not conver the hyperlinks to photos. It has to be a direct link which GP does not do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
