Seems like the album links are inconsistent. For my albums all the links generated are leading to the old interface. However, my wife's account are being sent to the google+ interface. This might be evidence that Google is slowly phasing out Picasa. I have read at several places that Picasa's days were numbered. Google seem to like to torture users slowly. They did this with the gmail and with the igoogle home page. Some users got the new interface forced on them before others. After a while the old interface was not no longer available and I suspect Google+ will be the only way to access our galleries. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
