Thanks Des and all you other guys for your responses. I have been fighting off this downloading of 10 for what seems like months now but this week had a firm 'Do it before the 29th July or lose it' notice so I did - (damn, need a smiley here)
I'm not computer savvy unfortunately so I do need to be pointed in the right direction - it's dead easy 'when you know how' but if you don't, well it's a bloody minefield (another smiley required!)
I will do as the Baron suggests but why would the other forum work and not this one -hmm?
I will persevere over the weekend Des and see what prevails - I'll keep you informed either way.
I have always found Picasa to be such a good and easy system to use. I have set up a Google photos account too which is similar but that too has the same problem - if I open it from the previous desktop icons I get this strange menu that has no means to copy the url. If I do it from the task bar the 'old' menu is there with 'Copy Image Address'. In itself that's not a problem as I can still copy image addresses - just can't open the insert image (or other buttons).
I have tried typing in
but that does not work either - just puts the small black rectangle with the white cross in to the post
Any, any, help would be appreciated - I can wax lyrical about modelling but when it comes to how these things are over come that's another matter (and yes another smiley would work well here too!)
Regards - Tug
