Picture questions...

Post by Beargrass » February 18th, 2022, 9:47 am

I've been uploading my photos as attachments. How do I keep them from rotating when clicked on?

Also, is there a way to import photos from google drive? I tried and the pictures where not in a format that worked.

How do you get a picture in small enough data size for your avatar pic?

Thanks

They don't make it simple with Google Drive, you have to find the "ID" of the image which can be gotten from the share url.

1. Find the image you want to share
2. Right click and choose share
3. Change the options to "anyone with the link can view"
4. Copy the URL. You will get something like below where the ID of the file is 1D7kCVxoeGViJ1Rlm-n5YsridTcrqqoML

Code: Select all

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D7kCVxoeGViJ1Rlm-n5YsridTcrqqoML/view?usp=sharing
5. Change the URL to

Code: Select all

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1D7kCVxoeGViJ1Rlm-n5YsridTcrqqoML
6. Put the image tags around it
7. Decide they made it too hard and keep uploading files :D

Make sure the photo is facing the right way up before you upload it. You can accomplish this with the help of dedicated photo editing software or the camera app on your mobile device or computer.
