Something strange

grantlairdjr  Pro User  says:

I usually posted all pictures on my blog with link from Flickr.com, I usually copied link from 'medium' size and use it on blog so it wont be too big. Of course, I also put full link to enter my flickr account site to view bigger picture.

It seems that all newer picture are OK but not older pictures.

Take a look - you will see "X" on it. Look like it doesnt affect all of them but few of them. My front blog address is blog.grantlairdjr.com

Example #1:

grantlairdjr.com/b2evolution/index.php/photoblog/2005/05/...

Example #2:

grantlairdjr.com/b2evolution/index.php/all/2005/06/13/p253

If you go to my Flickr account, it will show with no errors but since I used medium size, it has little different link like this:

I used this link code for example #1:
photos11.flickr.com/12065275_d237c7cbc3_m.jpg

I used this link code for example #2:
photos15.flickr.com/19411097_4e2a93eeb0_m.jpg

Seems some of the Flickr server is screwed up or what? Please advise.

I can see your photos just fine. A few people of reported this, but it's fixed by clearing your browser's cache or clicking shift+reload.

I'm having the same problem right now, and reloading my Blogger blog isn't helping.

I'm testing the links in the posts that are affected, and this is what's happening: The link reads

(http://photos21.flickr.com/35460678_61536a72d6.jpg)

but when I paste that into my browser, it switches to

(http://static.flickr.com/21/35460678_61536a72d6.jpg)

and I get an x.

What's up with that?

OK, this is really weird:

The pics were still coming up x's, but I discovered I could fix the problem by doing this:

1) go to the missing photo's "upload the medium size" page

2) grab the URL where it says "grab the URL"

3) paste URL into nav bar, click Go so pic appears

When I do this & reload the Blogger blog, the pic I've done this to appears. I've just gone thru and fixed all my missing pics this way.

I don't understand this newfangled "technology" stuff.

Re-editing all my blog posts is not something I'd look forward to. Fortunately the photos on my blog are loading fine. But there's a discussion board that a friend of mine and I use, and both of us host our avatars here, and I can't see either of them.

And sorry to be a whineypants, but I REALLY hate clearing my browser's cache; all those usernames and passwords I have to enter again....

Why where the URL changes made?

I got the same problems too! Hope this is only temporary for a short time. If it's not~ it's really a big problem!!!!

I got about 200 entries on my blog, and I don't think I would like to rename each of them.

I have to tell everyone on this topic... as much as we ALL hate to hear the simple things fix problems... ;) But what Heather said to do, going to tools - options and deleting files, for some odd reason worked.

Now... can someone from flickr PLEASE tell us why that worked, and what was going on to cause this??

Nothing has to be renamed! The devs are making some tweaks to the overall archictecture, but these changes are backwards compatible so old names work just fine.

The issue appears to be browser based, with concerns being raised by those use various flavours of IE (I use Safari and I've not had any problems seeing anyone's photos).

Clearing your browser's cache should not force you to loose all your passwords, etc. Cach is different from Cookies.

gizzypooh, can you be more specific. I'm not sure what concern you're voicing.
