Hey guys.

I set up a Flickr account following the debacle of Photobucket.

This is how my pictures appear when linked:

SL350-1 by Don Beech, on Flickr

Do people clicking on my name link through to all my pictures on Flickr?

I happened to try it on my office computer earlier today and I did. I wasn't logged in to it so I am wondering if it's open to all.

If it is, how do I stop that please?

Your best bet is to secure / hide from public view your more sensitive images.

I don’t have any sensitive images on Flickr - you can set your default to hide all your images and then alter the permissions for each one as you see fit.

By default they’re all open to everyone.

You could use Imgur for easy free and anonymous image hosting.
