Resolved! Images from Google Photo

[Million]

Is there any way to img embed photos from Google Photo? When I go to share with url from Google Photo I get a link like https://goo.gl/photos/3V6vJeTmcWw9WiZw5, but this can't seem to then be adapted to show an image inline in a forum post - anyone know why, or a way around this? I'd really rather not have to reupload everything onto another photo sharing platform

I have many problems uploading photo's but never tried google. Regretfully I tried a few things for you without success.

This is not a problem, Google Photos doesn't support image embedding therefore you cannot post them here directly, save from google and upload straight the forum.

Always found is you want embeded images outside the forum, then use: https://imgur.com

Thanks for your advice both, but what a pain!

Testing from Flickr photos. Seems to work direct from Flickr if that's any help to you. If you click on Share Photo, then BBCode, choose the size of photo you want then click on the code and paste into UKAPS.
