Posting from Google pictures

[mjmooney]

I have always hosted my pics on Google, and uploaded them from there. They used to upload as .jpg files with no trouble, but the last lot I have uploaded have saved on Google pics without a .jpg extension - e.g. "https://lh3.googleus...=w965-h643-no".

VT then says "You cannot use that file extension in this community". There appears to be no way to change the filename remotely.

Anybody else having this problem?

Edit: Now that's odd. The above link (in quotes) links to the picture correctly (it's my wife and daughter at a Race For Life, today). It's only when trying to use the "img" tags that VT complains about the lack of file extension.

You can only embed files with the extensions like .jpg .gif etc. The new version of the forum software might have some more intelligent options. We'll find out shortly.

OK, so in the meantime, are are allowed to post the ugly long links?

I'd rather that you hosted them somewhere that you can embed properly. The forum is quite unpleasant when it's just lots of links. You could ask Google why they've changed it? They are pretty good a soliciting feedback when they change things.

OK, will do.
