Link Opens via Chrome, But 404s With IE?
This link to a photo on Picassa http://tinyurl.com/7pvjrzy
opens a-ok when I feed it to Google Chrome, but when I try it with IE 6.0, Picassa returns "Sorry, that page was not found." At first I though it was just me and my antique copy of IE, but I posted the link on a discussion board and others have complained that it appears broken. It seems to resolve to the same Picassa address in each browser: Chrome: https://picasaweb.google.com/1081497...88722903226658 IE: https://picasaweb.google.com/1081497...88722903226658 Can anybody shed some light? -- PeteCresswell |

It may be that the tinyurl link has expired - have you re-tried it again
recently? I also have IE6 and Chrome installed on my machine, and although both IE6 and Chrome resolve your quoted tinyurl link "http://tinyurl.com/7pvjrzy" as ; https://picasaweb.google.com/1081497...88696097008162 ....(which is not the same as your full quoted link) but when I copy and paste the full links you gave into either browser I also receive "Page not found" error in both browsers. Is it possible that you have to be logged into a Google service before your link will work? The fact the address begins "https" makes me think that it may be that's what is wrong here... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "(PeteCresswell)" wrote in message ...

Per philo:
I tried it with Chrome and with Firefox and I get "page not found" I figured it out (I think....) Turns out that Picassa requires people to log in before they can view pictures. The "page not found" is misleading. What they really mean is "We're not going to show you that page if you're not logged in." This is all circumstantial, but I copied the pix to Flickr (which does not have the login requirement) and all is well. -- PeteCresswell |

Yes that makes sense Picasa has an option (I think) to make avail to anyone with a link though |
