Problems View Photos

[Robyn]

Hi all!

A couple of us are having problems viewing photos in two posts. We're trying to work through what is causing it but we'd like to get a feel for whether anyone else is having the problem. So, can anyone who can't see the photos in one or both of the posts below let me know either here or by pm?

Thanks!

I can't see them. But you already knew that.

 

[SkiNurse]

I can't see them

 

[Robyn]

Hmmm, so far all Colorado Divas.

Southern New England checking in here.

I noticed that I couldn't see them either when I first read the posts, can't see them now as well.

Chicago- can't see em.

 

[ski diva]

Huh. That's odd. I can't see them, either. Let me look into that.

I'm going to post a pic here. Can you see this one?

 

[num]

I can see Ski Diva's pic.

 

[Robyn]

I can see yours Ski Diva. Just for added info, I used Picasa which I've used before to post here and Lilabear used Kodak Gallery.

I've been checking out Kodak Gallery, and can't seem to find anyplace where they provide an image code for posting photos on other web sites. That might be the problem. I think KG operates by inviting people to come to their site, rather than viewing photos by other means. Am I wrong about that?

Apparently, Picasa operates the same way as Kodak Gallery. I just learned the following from them:

What you can't do is link *directly* to an individual photo.
You can link to a web albums page that displays a particular photo.
And you can embed a slideshow.
But the web albums site isn't currently like "photobucket" - you don't
upload photos and then directly link to them.

To post photos, you need to use some other photo host, like Flickr or Photobucket. That should take care of the problem.

Robyn I haven't been able to see the pics in the posts you mentioned either. SkiDiva's does come up. I've found photobucket that best for sharing.

I can't see either. When I first posted mine in the thread I could see all 3, I noticed today that I could only see one, and via your hotlink I can't see any. I can see SkiDiva's.

In KodakGallery when you right click it gives you the URL for the photo - and this is what I paste. I've noticed that I am always challenged by posting photos - not least because I use a Mac at home and even loading photos to a shared site is a pain in the @@@. But I thought not being able to see them was down to me being a total clutz. Looks like I might be getting some help here!! Great.

I can see only ski diva's

Lilabear, you're correct in seeing a url in Kodak Gallery if you click that way. But that url is not a link that you can use to embed a picture. Kodak Gallery does't work that way.

I agree -- uploading and embedding photos is a pain and something that gives a lot of people trouble. The best advice I can give you is to upload the photo using Photobucket, Flickr, or Shutterfly, then embedding the photo using the image code provided on those sites. I use a Mac and Photobucket and Flickr, and that sees to work for me.

Frustrating, ain't it?

I HATE Photobucket, it feels clunky to me and the privacy is horrid (anybody can get in and look at all your albums as soon as you post a link to a photo) so I won't use it. And I don't think it has to do with that since I've posted from Picasa before without a problem. I think there's something else going on.

 

[Robyn]

Just to test, here's a post I did with photos hosted by Picasa, can everyone see these photos?

[ski diva]

Robyn, you're right that Picasa does work. We'll get to the bottom of it.

 

[Jilly]

I can see those too. I only use Photobucket when I want to share pictures.

I can see the beautiful photos. I am SO looking forward to going to Colorado again after a 15-year absence!
