This is way too complicated. How do I attach a photo from Google Photos. I don't use Flickr any longer nor want to. I use google photo. When I make a post, I can't add a photo to that post. How do I do it?
 
The only thing that has worked for me with google photos is to be on the image I want to share, right click on it and select "copy image address". Then to link the photo you paste the image address between img codes with "?.jpg" after the pasted address.

so it would look like:
|img|PASTED IMAGE ADDRESS?.jpg|/img| with proper brackets of course.

These image addresses from google photos are HORRENDOUSLY long, but it will work if you add ?.jpg to the end.
 
I was able to post three yesterday b/c I cleared up the space in my attachments space.

I'll try your suggestion now. Here goes.

No luck. I click on the insert image box, select from url, paste and add ?.jpg, but it states error: remote file too large.

You right click the Google Photos picture and go to Copy Image Address.

It is very long...Now put [img ]paste link[/img ]

It will look like this:
