Illustrating a complaint

by Henk ter Heide on Thursday April 2, 2009

I know this picture isn’t working. Which is strange because if you click through to the Flickr site you’ll find the picture is indeed present.
I’ve tried several times to file a complaint with Flickr but they keep telling me that I should show an example.
So here’s an example.

Update: I got an answer from Flickr.

Everytime you change the state of a photo, by replacing it, rotating it,
editing it, or setting it to private or to public, Flickr generates new
filenames for it. It’s a security feature to prevent people from linking
to images without permission.

Doing any of these things will permanently break the html code to the
image and you get a “photo is currently unavailable” message on your
blog.

You may want to click the link to see if it takes you to the photo page.
If so, you will need to edit the post or make a new post using the fresh
information.

If you like the stories I tell. Or like the art and music I show. Feel free to leave a donation.
