Good evening.

Trying to post some images hosted on Google Photos. They show up fine in the previews but not in the actual post.

Here is an example.

I used to be able to post images so I am not sure why they are not showing up now.

Can anyone help with this?

WTF is the sense of having a Tech Support forum where no one answers anything?

Moderators aren't volunteers, we aren't paid, we have lives, jobs etc outside of AR15.Com.


I'd recommend not using google pics; the last thread (which I'm not locating quickly) IIRC didn't solve the posting issue, but the user bailed out on that thread.

Going directly to one of the links from your ad gives a 404 not found error

Thanks for the reply but it has to be something with this site as I have pics hosted by google up on multiple forums without any issues.

It is something that occurred with the new site rollout.  I don't use Google pics or docs but played around with another members photo.  Another member and I were able to get it but can't remember what I did.

Here's the link to the other thread in the event it has the answer in there.

Original thread is archived.

I have used Google Photos for years on this site w/out issues. Now I am having the same issues as OP. Can anyone confirm that this has to do with the latest AR15.com site update?

It looks like you have to go to https://goo.gl/ and then paste the link for the Google shared pic you would like to embed.




Will someone let me know if they can see the last pic posted in this post?
