Everyhitgn was fine when I was with Flickr, but needed to move the account as the charges kicked in, s opted for Google photos and iCloud, but neither seem to allow me to post an image address to UKGSER when I want to insert a photo... help! What do I have to do to make this work?

In simple words please

I use imugr, it’s a free hosting site. After uploading the picture, click on the picture you want to upload and it lists about 6 links to copy for forum use.
You then click the image icon in the tool bar on this site, copy and paste your image link. That should do it .

I was searching around for an answer to your question because I was trying to embed a photo from Google and I found this YouTube video and it works

Or maybe it doesn't work, the photo I posted seems to have disappeared

iCloud is a backup solution, cannot be used to host pictures to be displayed online (not sure if they offer an online album solution).

Google Photos, as taken from StackExchange:

open photos.google.com
open album
open any image (black layout will appear)
right click mouse button on image
copy image URL

Don't. For a number of good reasons, Tapatalk's behaviour is very "opaque" towards its users.

Thanks all, still lost as the right click copy on Google just gives a stack of numbers and letters, no .jpg
