After a lot of searching, I figured out how to embed pictures on Google Photos in a forum thread! A lot of sources say it can't be done, or give advice that only works in some places. Lots of people are mad at Google for making it so hard to do such a simple, ordinary function. But I was able to find something that works on this group. For today at least - they say that something that seems to work at first might disappear later.

Here are the steps.

In Google Photos, find the Sharing Options command and copy the "link to share" address.

Go to
https://ctrlq.org/google/photos/?_ga=1. ... 1490483464
Paste the address into the box and click "Generate Code"
When it's done the page will scroll down to two boxes.
Copy the code in the box for irect Link URL

Go to LFB, click the Image button and paste the Direct Link URL code between the tabs.

but but, I don't have to do it!

You did it for me!!

But know you know how to do it if you need this information in the future!
