Question for flickr users.

Up until today, when I went to share a flickr image from my photostream I was given multiple options to choose from.

Now I'm only getting HTML, the code I used to use that included [img] in it is no longer there.

Have they changed this for everyone?

And if they have, why?

It's still there. Just not very easy to see.

If you click on to an individual photo, where it shows the photostream, there is a box with an arrow pointing out of that. Click that and you have the option for sharing to F/book, Twitter etc but under that there are 3 symbols, the one on the left gives you the short link, the next gives you HTML and embed option and the final one, the drawing pin gives you the link to be able to post within a forum.

Hope that helps.

Ah, right. Thanks for that.

I have my pics as "friends and family only" which means I don't get the drawing pin code showing up.

Says I have to make them public - which is odd because I can copy the HTML link, delete all the crud and add [img] and it still works.

Wonder how long it will take them to realise I'm sharing my own photos and stop it working?
