Trying to set up a page on Google+ to display my pics, getting away from sharing sites such as Flickr, 500px etc...but it's doing my nut in....!
Anyone else tried it...???

It confuses me. So does Twitter. So does Facebook for that matter.

It's maybe just an age thing with us Brian...but I do find Google+ very "user un-friendly"...

I struggle with it too, although I only use the hangout function.

Web research shows this to be the case for a majority of people Pete...we don't appear blessed with patience anymore, nor a will to learn and understand anything new...if it cannot be "picked up" with a few clicks of a mouse it's redundant and tossed away for something easier...
I'm sure Google+ is a good platform - it shows off images perfectly - but it's going to take some time to master...

It's useful for its communities function too ... The way it shows off photos, categorisation of content etc ... It's almost a better platform for what we have here than what we have here

I think that's part of it, Dougie. Another part--more significant I think--is the lack of patience issue you mentioned to Pete in your follow-up post. After a while, unless it's something I really want or need, I say "ah bugger it!" and move on.

Part of me agrees with you, Brian. But I am, by nature, very persistent in things that interest me. However, at the moment, this and other aspects of social networking does not interest me at all.

I'm a little that way too, Pete, though perhaps not to the same degree as yourself. It's what I referred to as something I really want or need.

I see. I might change as I have a work meeting soon with a company soon that are definitely into these sorts of things! Some dodgy bunch called F8 or something!
