Once again I'm unable to see mr72s picture.  WTF!   


If I could ever get someone else to take pictures of me on the bike I could participate in that other thread, best I can get is footage of my backside from someone else's video-camera...

nothing on mr72's pic over here either,....

Yeah I don't know why photos shared on Google Photos using a shared album don't work for everyone on this forum. But it's not worth it to me to spin up some other photo sharing site. Sorry you guys can't see it. Maybe try logging in to your google account in another browser tab, assuming you have one.

I think it has to with the fact that technically you're not directly linking to the image file itself (your image URL doesnt end in .jpg or .png or anything like that), you're linking to a page of your Google Photos album or something. If I copy the URL you have between your IMG tags and paste it into my address bar, I get prompted to sign in to my Google account. Although, even after I signed in all I saw was a grey circle with a line in it. And now that I'm signed in, that's what displays here on the forum as well. So it may also depend on the viewer's google account's security settings? Not entirely sure, maybe I'll try and investigate further when I have some extra time.

[mr72]

yeah Google doesn't make this easy. They're learning from Apple about how to do "walled garden".

[qcbaker]

Maybe just upload the images to Tinypic instead of google photos? I know you said you didnt want to use another photo sharing site but Tinypic doesnt require an account if you only upload a couple photos every now and then.

[cbrfxr67]

when you right click it, copy paste that image location address into the insert image,...and you get nothing?  Cause the one I did for you in the other thread worked.  I think it's still working,...maybe you're messing up the string somehow?

[mr72]

That's exactly how I add these images.

[Watcher]

Now, when I go to mr72's project thread I can see most of the pictures he added.  When I go back to the "What did you do for your bike today" thread where I first discussed the issue I can't see them, nor can I see these here.

I don't think it would be a logged-in/permissions/security thing unless I could see none of the images but regardless I double checked that I am signed into my google accounts, navigated to his album and can see them there, and when I do like cbrfxr67 and select an image, right click, select "copy image location," paste it here, and surround it in the "img tags" it will post the image for me in the preview.

Case and point, can everyone see this?:



If yes then I'd guess mr72 maybe did something wrong?   
If no then IDK WTF is going on 

[ShowBizWolf]

I can see that one Watcher!

The above one mr72 posted I could see at work (where nothing is updated and the computers are very slow lol) but now that I'm at home with my updated laptop, I can't see it. Technology is so strange sometimes! Or maybe it's really humans...

[qcbaker]

I can see the image in Watcher's post.

You'll notice that they are not identical, plus mr72 is using a width argument in his opening img tag.

I didn't grab the same image mr72 used, I just grabbed a random one off his album.  But you did get me curious.

This is the image he presumably was trying to post:



Interesting, it does appear to be a different address than the one you got from his post.  If I quote his post directly, remove his image url, add the one I got, and hit preview, it does display properly, even with the forced dimensions.  I wonder if it's giving him some oddball "admin" address instead of a "public" address since he's copying off of his personal album.

[qcbaker]

I can see that one as well... It's a mystery lol

[mr72]

grr. I think I may just stop posting pictures.

Actually I think there are a couple of issues here:

1. the pictures I share are in a "shared album". If I get the link after browsing to them in the shared album, then it generally works more often. If I get the link when browsing to the picture outside the shared album, then it may not work for everyone.

2. there's some way to modify the link to add .jpg and make a more universally-usable link from google photos but I forgot what that is and I am too lazy to go look it up every time I post.

In the end I call it a success if some people can see it.

I presume the lovely lady on the back is your daughter--if not, she's a lovely lady no matter what.

[mr72]

Yeah that's my youngest, she's 21 and just graduated from TX A&M.

It was her first time to ever ride on a motorcycle. In fact my wife took that picture before we even set off for the first time. Hannah screamed in my ear "TOO FAST!!" for about the first 2 minutes and then got the hang of it, and after riding about a mile sort of round the block in the neighborhood at 30-35mph she decided to go with me to the donut shop about 2 miles away.

Still my wife won't ride with me. One 5 minute ride on a defective (no brakes!! AT ALL!!) 50cc scooter in Mexico 20 years ago has ruined her for life. Gotta admit, having to try and stop a 50cc scooter with two adults on it at that first stop sign with our feet was terrifying enough. I try to tell her that this motorcycle is nothing like that. Doesn't help. But my girls love riding on there with me.

EDIT -- my wife just went on a ride with me to the grocery store. Victory!!

no pics tho. next time I'll put the gopro on the bike.

Be careful, you might just have to find another GS for her!
