Probably not as many Flickr users out there as there used to be before they started charging $50 / year for the service. I'm a believer in 'you gets what you pays for', and paid for the freedom from ads, incessant tie-ins with social media platforms and so on. Anyway, works for me. (Plus, all my stuff's there anyway :rolleyes:)
I've been stripping the attribution line from the BBCode I use to post photos, to give the build thread a cleaner look. The stuff bracketed by: [/url] . Turns out I was missing two things:
In looking through the Flickr information on BBCode, it turns out it violates the user terms and conditions, which require you to leave the attribution line in place when Flickr is in the background putting up the photo. Probably not something they're going to go after, but seems fair to me.
The more significant item - the attribution line not only contains a link, but seems to be part of what what makes the photo a link as well. I missed that part.
So I'm leaving the attribution line in, that way any click on the photo now takes you to the full resolution photo in Flickr. For most cameras being used these days, that's considerably more resolution than you're going to get in the build thread itself, and good for geeking out on small bits of hardware & workmanship on occasion.
I'm probably the last Flickr user to know, but figured I'd share in case I'm not.
