[Closed] Google Picassa albums

Log in and it'll appear.

Yeah you can still do it but it's more hassle now.

In Firefox, view the photo you want by clicking on it then right click and select "Copy Image Location".

Paste it here and you'll get something like:

Then slap the [img ][/img ] tags around it - without spaces

Pro Tip: The /sXXX/ bit is the longest dimension in pixels, so you can tweak that to get the size you want.

They've really Microsofted it haven't they!

Links work fine:

Yes, i used to use the More , Photos link from my Google homepage, i might disable my Google+ account as i never use it.

Have they stopped the direct linking of pics from Picasa now?

all seems normal.

when you say direct linking do you mean using [img ] etc and the Embed image address?

Yep. Using the Embed Image, Image only code.
