EDIT:  Probably not worth taking this further; I am using your Gallery to host my Forum images, and if I use "large" format, it's acceptable (though still not as sharp as if hosted on Google Photos).  MH

 

 

Hello ODGW guys,

 

Normally, when I post to a Forum like yours, I insert images hosted in my Google Photos account, and for most forums (TMP etc.) this works.  Not with yours, however. 

On most Forums (like TMP, etc.) there is an "image" icon in the post editor.  Clicking on the "image" icon yields a box, into which I post the URL (like this one: https://lh3.googleus...EMq8H6Uqo=w2400 ).  However, when I try this with your Forum, I get "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." 

 

After examining someone else's images, I noticed you have a Gallery on the website, which I have uploaded a few images to.  Apparently, your Forum post image insertion procedure accepts links to this Gallery.  However, the images are blurry compared to how the Google Photos -hosted image would have been.

Mark,

 

Apologies for the lack of response.  ODGW is currently reviewing and testing for the reported issue.   We hope to have a formal reply soon.  Stay tuned.

 

Thanks

Good day Mark,

 

A modification has been made which should allow the Google links to be used in forum posts.

 

Please reach out if the issues persists.
