Hi, Luke! First I tried simply Copying and deleting the long link and Pasting it into a new Image setup window. That didn't work, so then I Pasted the link into a Google search box, and this picture is what I got, along with some other things on the page. I clicked on the button that read View Image. That took me to a page that had ONLY the picture. Then I Copied that URL and Pasted it into a new Image setup window.
I hope this is the pic she intended to be seen.

Thanks Jackie, but I can't put tab A into slot B. I appreciate it,
but it makes little sense. I don't understand View Image, etc.
Am grateful for your attempt to 'teach' me.
