I've made the album public (only a few pics) in case anyone can look at it.

I am a novice with this new forum software too, but it sure looks like the "Insert Image" tool expects the URL to be a plain http:// and not the secure form (HTTPS://) used by Google photos. When you click on the icon the pop up box is primed with "http://" which is a clue. I played a lot with your Google album pictures and failed miserably.

What will work is to Upload your pictures from your PC. Hopefully you have the pictures stored there already but if you don't, just download them from Google photos. Then while composing your post, page down to the "Manage Attachments" clicky.

This feature helps you to upload pictures from your PC to the MOC server. Having completed that exercise, you now want to insert the pictures in your text. Position the cursor in the text where you want the photo to appear and click on the Paper Clip icon (just to the right of the one at the top). Click on the photo name and shazamm something like "[ATTACH]nnn{/ATTACH] will appear in the text area. Hit the Preview Post clicky and your picture should appear looking something like this.
