Anybody successful using Picasa to host photos?

rklopp · Dec 31, 2008

I tried Picasa, and could see photos fine when I first posted them to PM, but now they've disappeared. Some other members can see my post's photos and some cannot. Any ideas? I've checked to make sure the photos are "public" on Picasa.

For the photos (or not :rolleyes5:

), see my posts in this thread: http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/showthread.php?t=171421

Here is the answer:

"I don't know if the other reply was from a moderator but I have
achieved a compromise solution with a BBS site I posted to.
The BBS requires the link to end with -----.JPG. But the "LINK"
provided by PICASA doesn't give that and adding ".JPG" will not work.
I was able to pull out the http://------.JPG from the "embed image"
box, below the "LINK" box.
Copy the code from the "Embed image" box.
Paste the code in Wordpad, or Notepad.
Copy the URL after the word <img src=" and stop after .JPG
For example ...<img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Xbu0HKv0FMg/STISO-
HoqRI/AAAAAAAAAUI/ii79vN7nZe0/s144/boat08_030a.jpg"/></a></td></...
You would copy: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_Xbu0HKv0FMg/STISO-HoqRI/AAAAAAAAAUI/ii79vN7nZe0...
Remember to remove the quotes.
You can paste that "URL" into MySpace. The catch is that is the
'small' image you see when looking at the whole album.
Until I can crack the coding and get a URL that ends as .JPG, and will
give us access to the full photo, that will have to suffice.

right click "copy image address" or whatever is similar in windows land. the link will be formatted like this:

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_jIjSAk_U8IE/SPt7eS1t9MI/AAAAAAAAB6Y/fign6ax_Od8/s720/DSC_0085.JPG

and you'll need to add this "img" bit with the slash enclosing the image link:

to get this:

if you'll notice, there is "s720" in the link. that's image size. the largest picasa will serve that i know of is 800 pixels, so if you substitue s800 for the s720, you'll get a bigger image:

i shot those with a nikon d40 and a 200mm lense. quite amaturish, but mine non the less

no, i've had no issues with images displaying for some but not others... that is unless they're running some crap windows filtering mess (to keep them 'safe' or whatever) that blocks images, for whatever reason.
