FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides

Last edit by: gfunkdave

I have copied the first post in this thread to this wiki so anyone can edit it.

************************************************** *******
A few people have asked in various threads, and I though that this might be a good opportunity to have some instructions for the various image hosting services out there on how to present their images on the TPF forum. I'm going to include the couple responses I've already drafted, but if people have info for ones I haven't included feel free to suggest the provider to me and/or write up the instructions.

S.

And, once you've decided to post your images on FlyerTalk, here are a couple decent threads to share on:

If you're having trouble posting images and cannot seem to figure out why they aren't showing up in the post, make sure to check your profile settings. There is an option to display images or not, and that may be the source of the problems. To get to the setting, click on the My FlyerTalk link, then on the Edit Options link. On that page scroll down and make sure that the check box is selected next to the option "Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)" and save the settings. Hopefully that will fix things.

Update:
Just wanted to add a welcome to folks who are coming over to this thread from some of the other fora that recently had photo embedding enabled. If you're having any problems or want to include details about a new hosting service please feel free to post in this thread and/or PM me.

How (and where) to embed your pictures in the Travel Photography forum

Google will let you set photos as public or private. It needs to be public to share here.

Testing google photos here* (as only some of pics are showing up, though I could see it in post preview and on my device) - thanks for the patience. - not certain on private vs. public photo. Public only if photo is shared and then the img url in copied?

(*Is there a 'test' thread to work out posting issues - sorry if I missed that)

Trying pic directly and after sharing&coping URL
Direct (from a shared album)

Same pic after sharing

Looks like the URL changes.
Yuck. May have to go back to Flickr. Is that a better option? (it does allow size choice) Any one with direct experience with both google photos and flickr? TIA
