Plea for help with photos

[John Bokman]

Hi Rivsters.

I'm soliciting help in attaching photos to messages. In the past I have used the paperclip to attach singular photos from my computer.

Now, I'm thinking it should, theoretically, be easier to attach multiple pictures by using google photos (which I've just installed on my apple phone). I am under the impression I can create a link to my album (selected photos only of course) and then "share" the link to the group members.

Am I getting this right? Any recommendations before I proceed further?

Thanks all.

John

Hi John. That is what I do. I create a Google photo album and then paste a link to that album. A bigger frustration for me is not being able to create a new post or “conversation” from my phone. I am sure there is a good reason for this but I don’t get it.

Thanks for the thoughts. In my case, I create a link to my album but can't share it because my phone (apple) doesn't recognize the riv owners bunch. As in, it is not listed in my contacts, even though I added it to my contacts. Make sense? Sort of?

Permit me to try this. I had an existing album in my Google photos app. I was able to “copy link” & paste it here; can you see it?

When you say you create the link and "paste it" are you specifically saying you "invite people" in google photos? I can copy the link but can't "invite" rbw owners bunch.

I've had some luck with clicking the picture icon (mountains), rather than the paper clip to post photos.  However, I can usually only post one or two photos max into each post.  If I try to post more photos in one posting, it tells me my message is too long and to try again.  I always prefer the photos being here in the conversation, rather than a link to somewhere else, so it would great to know how some people post a larger group of photos here in one conversation post.  I am using a MacBook pro usually, not an iPhone.

Thanks. I have never used the icon with the mountains, only the paperclip. Good to know.
