Hi, I have no trouble linking form flickr - but when I follow the same procedure with Picasa, nothing appears?
Any ideas

I can see your version of my image, but mine just shows a little box with a red square, green cicle and blue triangle in.
Any more ideas?
Can you link from Picassa
Control+F5 doesnt change anything?
If I download firefox as a browser do I have to uninstall msn and do I lose my msn? Forgive my dumbness (though this is only the tip of the iceberg).
How do I clear my cache
Just linked another set of photos to a new thread and I cant see those either so its definatelty a link to picasa rather than, errrm something else
I really should have paid more attention at school.
I am so dim. Sorry.
I think im using windows internet explorer but not 100% sure what 'browser' means. Boy, its tough to lay out my ineptitude like this. :amstupid:
Thanks trapper - now I know this, how do I clear the Cache?
Why s800? I looked at some of his pics on another thread and it was s720 as is the picture from Captain Penguin that I posted.
I'm not sure that is going to help anyway as he is posting pics ok, just can't see them himself.
What does the s bit signify?
Why? I don't know. When I also initially had this problem, the answer that I found included the "s800".
Works every time and I have used it ever since as you can see above.
if you use s720 it will resize to be 720 pixels.
S800 will resize to be 800 pixels.
Can also get 400, 200, 420, 220 etc just try it.

If you use the location of the picture then you get the s bit into the url automatically.
The problem here, though, doesn't appear to be addinfg the picture to a thread, but for the person posting the picture to be able to see it himself.
I have no idea why that is. Is that the problem that you had as well?
The original post mentions picasa specifically.
Now that you've made me think about it though. My first attempts with flickr were all misses, until I realised that I was trying to link to the thumbnail instead of opening the photo and choosing the size needed to post.
In picasa too, you have to open the photo and then link and add the "s800". Could this be the OP's problem?
Yes, he said he had the problem with Picasa and not flickr, and I wondered if it was because he wasn't providing a direct link to the picture itself, rather than the page on which the picture sits. This happens with the sort of setup you have on here for picture posting, it happens on a forum I run myself.
However it got more complicated when it seemed he can post pictures, he just can't see them himself.
Pictures linked from picasa without the "S" factor cannot be seen on the forum pages.
What he can and can't see, is something else.
