They've changed it all again.

Does anyone know how to get hold of the address for an image? There used to be a 'share link' option, but that has disappeared.

I have a picture on Picasa that I want to display on STW.

Cheers,
Dave

Open the image you want to share and right click on it.

figured it out... it takes you to the new 'google+' way of viewing photos... you can't do it from there as it hides the image behind a load of fake text (and I couldn't find the image link in the source code)

You need to go back to viewing picasa through the 'picasa web' interface instead, which gives you the option to share your image by link. It will then tell you the image address.

Pain in the butt aren't they? I've just saved a bookmark on my iGoogle page and go through that https://picasaweb.google.com/home
How long before that's no longer accessible though?
