I'm not sure you can embed photos from Picasa on forums. However there is an option for posting a link to a photo. :)

There should be a "Link to This Photo widget" on the side of the screen for creating a link that people can click through to see your photo.

Here is a help faq about sharing photos:

I don't now it sounds like they can see all your pictures from where it came from.

Viewers who click through to the photo in Picasa Web Album will also be able to see other photos in the album.

That is right. If you use photobucket, it gives you a URL for posting your picture, so that the picture is here on the forum and no one is connecting to your album.

I've used Photobucket for years, and they have never spammed me.

Agree with Kisal. I haven't been using it for as long, but I have over 60 images stored there and I've been using it about a year now. No spam.

Yep, photobucket here too. No spam. Have a couple of neat slide shows. There are some great pictures in the one marked "fun stuff".

But Charlie chose to link us to his album. You don't have to. You can just paste in the img address here, and the picture will be here directly without people having to click a link AND no one can go see what else you have posted on photobucket.

Turning green just looking at that! :shock:
It's interesting how those waves can also look kind of like snowy mountain ranges. :D
