The beauty of the system, as it was, is that you could show forum members various photos in your Flickr account which were not shared with the public.If you do that now, all of your non-public photos become available.If, on the other hand, you link to a public photo, then all of your public photos become available.Speaking for myself, I won't be linking to Flickr anymore.Existing links, such as mine in the Fred Fowle topic, are not affected.

The way we were able to link to Flickr images can still be done, but only by Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. It's possible, however, to show particular Flickr images, but only by posting links like those below:https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3707/10727832436_59810648b7_c.jpghttps://farm8.staticflickr.com/7714/17252246162_3277cde41f_c.jpgObviously, you have to click on each link, so it's not particularly useful. Therefore, I think it's probably time to edit or remove reference to Flickr in the Photo Forum. Edited April 24, 2015 by John Carter Link to comment

I was hoping to be contradicted. 1 Link to comment
