Hi Guys,

I have some images from my 50 1.8 I want to post and despite posting the URL path where the images are in FB, the I get a little box with an X in it. I have even dried the "img" in brackets to no avail.

This never used to be an issue ... anyone know what's up?

Cheers,
Andre

Yeah, sometimes facebook provides good links, sometimes it produces endless long links ending with numbers rather then the .jpg file extension. When that happens the only thing to try is to delete the image from facebook, upload it again and hope it gives a good link this time.

I found that it tends to produce good working URL's more often when not uploading full res images but staying within the file size limitations set by facebook so facebook itself does not have to resize your files.

I do not have a clue why facebook renders these useless (non-linkable) URL's for some images and doesn't do the same for others in the same batch with the same specifications, but then again, there is a lot I do not understand about facebook

AAAHHH! What is going on? I can't even get Flickr to work. I have a Flickr account but when I go to recently uploaded images I get URLs like this:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/24400349@N07/17013087402/

And no image!

The Nikon gods are smiting thee for raising the sea of D400 insurrection. Who knew they had pull with FB and Flickr... I thought their reach only extended to Joe McNally.

OK, I think I have it figured out ... it appears that I have to go to the "share" button, put the selector on "original size" and then copy the URL from the text box

I never had to do this before! Let me know if you know of something easier.

It could be the secure page - try just http.

Err, never mind - I tried it with your link just now and it didn't work - I guess you have to use the share thingy. Probably that silly "@" in the middle of it flickr put there.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for trying ... it's even happening with all my older images, including some that are public ... strange.

Maybe Chuck (nolaguy) is right

Cheers,
Andre
