There are different style links you can use to post/share photos on places like blogs, Facebook and forums.

If you do not want viewers to see the paths on your site or even see your site use one of the last two links below.

Gallery browser link with photo ID at the end
http://www.photosbyat.com/Birds/Missouri-Bird-Photos-A-G/i-JZkJm9S

Get a Link, includes path to upper levels and photo file name
http://www.photosbyat.com/Birds/Missouri-Bird-Photos-A-G/i-JZkJm9S/0/L/IMG_1800_7D1-3-L.jpg
(allows visitors to edit link and browse up levels)

Get a Link example from unlisted gallery, site name but no path and file name
http://www.photosbyat.com/photos/i-JZkJm9S/0/L/i-JZkJm9S-L.jpg

Hide your site, no site name, path, file name (remain anonymous on forums, etc.)

    Thanks, Allen, great info. What's the path to obtaining the last format, last link in your list? Do you have to manually cut and paste it?

    Regarding this one:
    Get a Link, includes path to upper levels and photo file name
    http://www.photosbyat.com/Birds/Missouri-Bird-Photos-A-G/i-JZkJm9S/0/L/IMG_1800_7D1-3-L.jpg
    (allows visitors to edit link and browse up levels)

    I noticed (image attached) that the Get a Link/Gallery Links/Gallery choice [Lightbox is the other one] omits the ID codes. It's just the gallery itself in general. I think that must be a bug, to let us drilldown through "get a link" for a specific photo, where the link result is a general gallery link with no photo codes.

    The Photo tab options - that's what you referred to, correct? - put the photo only in a browser window.
    If I've got this right, then the only way to get the URL for a specific photo, that lands a person in the gallery itself, not lightbox, is in the browser URL field (the first option in your list).
