I've had a Flickr account for a little while -- just recently though I've uploaded a fair few pics.

All have tags and as far as I know i've set them to be visible to anyone

So why do they not come up if I search "everyones uploads" etc ???

Does my profile need to be reviewed or something before I'm trusted??

NO idea! - help!

I've just gone to a pic -- gone to flag pic -- then unchecked " hide from searches"

if i look again - it seems to recheck that tick box????

Ok you need to have a look in to how you have set up your account in the settings, save changes,

I think it is very unlikely flickr has flagged you as unsafe,

PM me your flickr user name, if you want and I will check if I can view your photostream, that may give me a clue, I trust it is not NSFW

I had a look, cool pictures,

do not have any problems viewing pictures, try a couple of unique tags, see if that works,

"poorly landrover" for example.
