Question:

[elleng]

Until the past week or so, I've been able to use Google 'images' to find pics of lots of things, when relevant to a post, like a bowl of guacamole, DC Cherry blossoms, etc. They'd come up as a wide array of images, click on one gets a jpeg which, when link posted, pops right up.

Now, same 'array' doesn't show, now its commercial, like a bunch of recipes for guacamole (for example,) and no jpeg link available.

Anyone know why???

Thanks

1. There's probably an image link at the top of the page.

Use that and you should see what you're used to seeing.

2. Here's what I got for 'chicken:'

Not useful, I think

Nevermind!

3. I'm confused.

I totally got a page full of chicken pictures when I clicked on your first link here.

[elleng]

4. Yes, a page full of chicken pictures,

and click on one to post a pic of it here, and get another LOOOOOONG, useless link, not the short jpegs which, in the past 'til recently, when posted here, would result in a PICTURE!

9. I'm not sure why you're having a problem, but here's how I do it:

1) Click on chicken pic you want. It should bring up a larger image of that picture with a button next to it saying "view image".

2) Click "view image." A new window should open with just the photo.

3) Copy the URL.

4) Past the URL in a DU message box, like so:



ALTERNATIVE METHOD:

1) Click on chicken pic you want.

2) Right click on the larger picture preview. Choose "copy image address."

3) Paste into DU post, like so:

10. Thanks. Will try.

My 'problem' is that google's image options appear to have changed.

[intheflow]

11. What's weird is that google did that to me, like, 3 years ago.

Drove me batshit! And it's so weird it's taken so long to swing around to you.

[elleng]

12. Guess I should be glad to have had it the right way all these years.

Glad you understand!!! Was such a great resource!

13. Odd, I am not getting any result from clicking the picture.

I click a picture and nothing happens. No larger picture, no option for copying URL or copy image address.

Sorry to butt in here, but I have just discovered these images and I have the same problem that elleng has...unless she has figured it out.

[intheflow]

14. That is odd!

I would suggest it might be your browser, but I use both Macs and PCs daily, with four different browsers and it always works the same for me. OTOH, it could just be a weird google thing. For instance, I live in Colorado, but for some reason, google is sure I live in Boston - all my search results are in the Boston area. I think it rebooted there when I visited a couple years ago with my laptop and it hasn't ever reset itself back.

15. Well, it apparently is a problem in Internet Explorer.

I decided to try Chrome instead, and all worked as it should. (Although it wasn't easy for me to find Google Images like it was in IE.)

[intheflow]

20. I used to have that problem, too,

but learned I could always get there by typing "images.google.com" in the browser. Works for all things google:

new.google.com
mail.google.com
calendar.google.com

etc.

5. Make sure you are going an image search, not a "regular" search?

[elleng]

6. Yes, thanks, BEEN doing that.

[Curmudgeoness]

7. I do not have your answer,

but I just learned something because of this. I never knew that google images existed.

Now, I will wait with bated breath for an answer to your question.....since I tried getting an image and got the longest source code that I have ever seen to post.

[elleng]

8. Right, that's the problem now,

used to type request, like, Guacamole, get lots of pics on which to click, and then got short jpeg.

[Curmudgeoness]

16. See my comment #15 to intheflow.

I got it to work.

[elleng]

17. Thanks. I don't use IE.

Will try Chrome.

GOT IT!

[Curmudgeoness]

18. Isn't that odd!

Two different browsers that no longer work with Google Images. WTF.

[elleng]

19. VERY odd,

and I expect lots more similar will show up. So much crap, 'business,' monopoly, hacking.

Found something I've been looking for for a while, 'gift' from my folks to daughter which she has in packing stuff, and I MAY get it for my cottage. Sharing it with you with THANKS, tho this is b+w, and the original is in color, oil:
