I’m testing out my photo sharing. Can you see [this](https://share.icloud.com/photos/0fbWUh-hKHBvaCkjUGZ3MMKOQ)?

Yes. Its a picture of a bay.

I have to click on the link and open it in another tab, then yes, I see your photo. It says the picture expires October 13.

I was viewing it on my phone. So no new tab. Also has your name on it.
Oops, I replied. You will now get dozens.

Ditto. And ditto to the name.

What free app does everyone use to share photos publicly these days?

To post on the board? I just use [imgur](https://imgur.com/upload). It’s not super-duper high quality, but it does the job for free and is super-quick and simple.
I don’t use apps to share with other people - I just send e-mails with attached files.

I use Imgur as well. Works pretty easily. The only issue seems to be users posting a link to the photo album rather than the photo itself, as Imgur isn’t real transparent about how to pick which link.

Imgur, for reasons unclear to me, has recently developed a tendency to refuse to show me anything: it gives me a momentary flash of the top bit of the picture and then goes black entirely. This may have something to do with an adblocker and java blocker, though it happens even when I enable all the jave on the page. It happens with some photos and not others, but I’ve no idea as to why.
If I try to see the pictures on an ipad instead of on the desktop, however, Imgur works fine; so it appears to be a problem specific either to my old computer or to some configuration of the browser.
