Allow links to Google Book images?


Recommended Posts

Since they don't end in .jpg or .png, the forum disallows links copied from Google ebooks:

https://books.google.com/books?id=Sv6gAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA25&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U25RSuQXv91Sd22EZrWe1-Y39jfPQ&ci=88%2C899%2C768%2C204&edge=0

I understand why these are filtered out, but was wondering if an exception can be made for the books.google.com domain to make it easier to cite historical references.

 

They do show up in edit mode, but cause a "you don't have rights to post images of this type" error when posting.

 

Yours respectfully,

etc.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear.   The URL I posted causes Google to generate a small HTML page with a piece of the book included in an img tag.   That makes it possible to ""quote"" a book:

 

Screen%20Shot%2003-17-15%20at%2010.37%20

 

 

Screen%20Shot%2003-17-15%20at%2010.41%20

 

But that results in an error when clicking :  "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.
