Ah, I’ve always used get image address on GP.
now only get 'copy image address' when right click on the photos . . . :?

So, what is visible here? should be an SS1 rear suspension unit
selected the wee image icon between star and link, then pasted the address

this one with the image address in the link and a close up of rear end of SS1

The other thing to do when testing posts, have a “incognito/in private” session of your browser open. It means your viewing the post as a normal user, so in that browser session, your not logged into your google account.

good thinking

i think I'll reload the photo onto Google Photos straight into my 'shared CARS' folder, see if that helps

well that didn't work :(

the new photos are in the same 'shared' folder as the SS1 arm but the NEW ones don't show up, now get a big empty space with a 'no entry' sign on it

I'll just accept that adding photos is a bitty hit & miss.

if there was 'storage space' on server then could low 'low resolution' images?

another test, to see if it is the way I'm adding them to Google photos, or another wrinkle . . . .
