Well, I've made a little progress. I realized that the above link does not have a .jpg extension - which is apparently required.
I went to Picasaweb and opened the photo, and clicked on the 'Link to this Photo', then went to the 'Embed Image' and selected the 'large' size. Then I copied the link to Notepad and you get this:

Look for the URL that ends in '.jpg', in this case:
Copy this carefully - without the quote marks. Open the 'Insert Image' tool in the AGF forum and paste this link into the dialogue box.
This is what you get:
Surely there must be a more elegant method to embed photos from PicasaWeb??? Oh, wait - it is a Google product, isn't it
