Saintly Fish Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Amazon photos is the easiest, just find your photo, then press the share icon, copy link then paste in this txt box not the "add files" box... https://www.amazon.co.uk/photos/share/UIBjkdWFDPGQD6pIJN77LxW92tbRAyP7gTuHl9gX1gq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyswamp Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 I seem to have it sorted, if I copy and paste the link directly into the post it works I'm nearly as tech savvy as jonc, if I loose a few more of the grey matter, I'll be right up there suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think you sorted it already - just paste the URL directly into the post. Don't use the Insert Image from URL option in the Other Media drop-down or the Link icon. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Whereas if you double click your image in Amazon then select "Copy Image Address", it embeds as normal. #youcanthankmelater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Or from a phone, tap on the image in Amazon to open it in full screen, then tap and hold then select Copy Image, then paste it into your post. #youhavemuchtolearnyoungpadawan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
