Picasa public album redirects to Google+ Login

Following changes to Google, with integrating Picasa photo albums into Google+ all my web-page links to my public Picasa albums redirected people to the Google+ login box, instead of just showing the album.


As a temporary fix I have added  "?noredirect=1" to my Picasa Web gallery URL?

For example:
https://picasaweb.google.com/number/albumname?noredirect=1

This skips the redirect to Google+



If you are using an authkey in the URL, then you have to use "&noredirect=1" ( & instead of ?)

For example:
https://picasaweb.google.com/103124484697486858492authkey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&noredirect=1

NOTE: If the URL ended in a # remove it. (I did also add / at the end though not sure this is necessary.)
