Does anyone know why a photo shows up as "photo unavailable" when hot linking to a Flickr photograph?

Is it because I didn't follow the rules and use the proper linking?

Seems like with the recent changes that linking to the "original" size often doesn't work, but linking to the "large" size does - even when they're the same size.

cheers,

All of my updates from 9/14 are showing up as not available, yet I can see all the pictures on my photostream.

I looked, and you just have *img* tags on the pics.

You have to redirect the image back to the "all sizes" page per Flickr's rules as I understand. I link back to the photo's main page, but never had an issue.

What does the text look like to link back to the "all sizes" page?

Take out the spaces and:



That is the correct procedure as far as I know when using Flickr. I *just* upgraded to Pro this morning, so the thread spooked me a little.

Not the easiest way to share pics on forums, but I love the community.

Ok really weird stuff is going on.

I went to update the bathroom thread with the linking information that Mike suggested and the pictures are gone. Oddly enough, one picture still shows on CSI but is gone from Flickr.

I guess I was busted and will need to re-upload the pictures to flickr prior to relinking the images?

I checked your photostream and it shows the last upload in August. They only delete photos for violations of terms of use. Guess somebody at Yahoo woke up on the wrong side of bed.

There are other ones beyond that point but they are friends and family only. It was just the one from my bathroom post, it must have blipped their radar.

I think that I have figured out the best way to do it.

From the picture page click on "share this",
Select "Grab the HTML/BBCode",
Select "Large (1024x6850)",
Change the button to "BBCode",
Copy the text in the box,
Paste


DSC_0230 by bennings89, on Flickr

Easy as pie and following the rules. I guess the new flickr is worth something!

I've been seeing people use that format over the past week on a canon website.

That explains a lot.
