Not working here either.

The files you are trying to link are ending in "s1263-w1263-h947-tmp.jpg-no". Usually hostable URLs are not that long, either.

Before you put an image link into the [ img ] [ /img ] tags when making a post, copy and paste it into a new incognito or private browser window and make sure it loads for you. If it does, it will likely load for us as well.

Also make sure that the link begins with http:// www. site.com instead of something like file://c:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/randomphoto.jpg.

Also ensure that the end of the link says .JPG, or .JPEG or whatever format your photos are in; forum software does not always interpret voodoo image links very well.

I'm not seeing anything yet

Still no pics
I tried IE and firefox, looks like the pics are not public
I'll try Chrome, not installed yet on this computer

They were all visible, then you edited them away...or changed the settings in google photos to make them go away...

You had them all showing before your last edit.

How are you trying to link them? Describe the steps...

Here goes.

Select "photos" on Google Photos.

Click on selected pic, it opens in a larger size. Right click on pic and select "copy image location" from pop-up box.

Within my post, add the beginning [img], paste copied location, and end with [/img]

I have also tried on a couple to add -tmp.jpg Didn't make a difference.

The worst part is they always show up on all my devices. So I have no idea what anyone else can see or can't see. And when I'm posting the pics show up immediately in the post, so I can't see what happens to the link once I add the last [/img] I think it's something with the sharing settings on Google, but I'll be danged if I can figure it out. Spent a good chunk of time online trying to figure Google out, but no such luck. And I'm not the only one. The other strange thing is some of the "fixes" say to enable sharing but there's no option on that anywhere on my version of Google Photos.+

Does this show?

In google photos...

Avoid the sharing tab or the photos tab. I've found that using sharing is a huge pita, same with sharing from photos.
Never had problems after creating a shared album.

Create an album, then go into album settings and share the album.
Add pics to shared album you created.

Go into album, open pic want to post.
Right click & copy link address.
Use that link to post on forum.
Use goo.gl site to create shorter links for posting, but not mandatory.

That's how I got the second pic to show. I'll go try and change the others again. Wish me luck.

I don't know what it is with the sharing tab or sharing individual photos that is problematic, but I suffered the same issues as you doing it that way.
They would work, then just go away...some folks could see them, others could not. Frustrating!

Since I started doing it the above way, no more issues.

[Randyzzz]

I just went and fixed all the pics. I hope. Let me know if they're visible. I did about 4 through goo.gl- because somewhere in the original URL there was a partial profanity!?!

I noticed that goo.gl states all shortened links are public. Maybe that's a key in the future.

Can you let me know if all the pics show?

[babywag]

I see all pics again.

[Randyzzz]

I see all pics again.

Yes!
