google+ ?
Since I don't have a camera right now, I've been using google+ to backup my photos from my phone. Anyone know how to get the link from there to here? I have a good bit to share (I know it's been a while) and talk about, but I can't seem to figure out how to link my photosHopefully someone can help me out!

Do you use only Google+ to backup your photos? Nowhere else? If so, then, I think, this isn't a good idea - because it isn't safe to store your important personal files in a social network.
Right click and chose "copy image location" then paste that in the photo link box here. Change the tab to post from url.

Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

Hmmmm....let me check something.
Interesting. There's a utility to upload directly from my computer but when I tried, it failed. The first time, it gave me two options - basic and (I think) Uploader. I selected Basic and it gave me a browser button with which I chose a file to upload. The second time, it didn't give me the two options.
True enough, my final home is still out there, but this is most certainly my home range and I love it. I love every rock I fall off and tree I trip over. Even when I am close to dying from exhaustion, a beautiful sunset doesn't lose it's power to refresh and inspire me and that, in itself, is enough to save me sometimes.
There are a couple of ways to do that.
1. Copy the URL at the top of the picture page and post it here bracketed with the [img] tag. Example: {img}https://plus.google.com/picture01234545{/img}
Use the brackets [ ] instead of { }. I had to use { } in the example or the forum software would have tried to upload a picture. It should be Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.
2. You can select on the Insert Image icon at the top of the Quick Reply dialogue box. It looks like this:

When the box opens click on From URL then paste your url into the box. Click Okay and it should post the picture. You'll also post an attachment directly below it.
Got my computer whiz friend to fix the problem with my phone, and with the card reader. Watch out.. here come pictures
I will try a link or two here to see if I can figure out how to use the G+ backup.
I'm not too worried about storing pictures on G+. I keep all my privacy settings on "private", and heck, they're just pictures. My phone automatically backs them up there for me.. just haven't figured out how to get them from there to here (yet)
