Picasa Web problems ?

**paulh** · 12-07-2011, 01:14 PM

Anyone else having problems linking to photos on Picasa Web Albums? When trying it here, I get a broken link icon. It doesnt work when linking to a photo in an email, either. Same results using Firefox and Chromium/Iron. I can view my Web albums, and my old posts are still showing their photos, but can't add any new ones. Thought I'd throw it out there...

Picasa had some similar problems in the past but Google fixed them pretty fast. I checked with my photos on Picasa and at least in the post preview they look fine.

Seems it's fixed now - just checked again. Apparently, it would add an invalid photo size to the link in addition to the correct one, i.e - s512/s800, where 800 px would be correct. By manually removing the 's/512' from the link, I got it to work. But, it appears everything is working correctly now.
