I kind of agree with you Blossom, they are our pictures so why should we have to link to them... but on the other hand Flickr! are providing us with a free place to host them so the least we can do is provide some traffic back to them... i can see both sides really 
And i feel i should know that character but it's escaping me! |
Not when you are paying for a Pro account!!! 
It's Wordy from Words and Pictures!!

Ah, yes, Words and Pictures! Did he fly around or something?
I pay for a Pro account too, purely cos my stash photos took up the 200 picture limit and i couldn't see any other pictures

I hadn't noticed there was a 200 pic limit in Flickr before you had to pay ....  I might have to cull old photos when I get to that stage. Hmm. Thanks for that!
That is a fab avatar Franney!

I have to say I thought it was a monthly limit I have 148 photos altogether so far, but the upload photos page tells me "You've used 14% of your 100 MB limit this month" and that seems to change every month and go back to 0%
So I've never envisaged paying. I'll have to go back and have a proper look.

Ah, i should make myself clearer!
Only the most recent 200 photos uploaded to your free account will show on your account page - the rest will still be there but they won't be visible to you or anyone accessing your account page. I believe they will still show up in blog posts and elsewhere that they are linked to but you won't be able to do anything else with them. I hope that makes sense?
Check the Flickr! site for a proper explanation 
I upgraded simply because i use my Flickr! account for Ravelry, and even though i tried the photobucket slurper they provided i found Flickr! a whole lot easier to manipulate
Joy - thankyou i thought it was time for a change and my friend took this picture for me just for my avatar

Franney, where does it tell you that yo have to pay once you have 200 photos? I can't find anything about that at all ?:

Noooo Joy, you don't HAVE to pay, you can still have a free account, but you will only be able to see the last 200 pictures that you've uploaded, everything else before that is inaccesible to you (but not deleted) unless you upgrade to a pay account.
I found this in the help pages:
| flickr wrote: | I have a free account. Some of my photos aren't showing up. Why?
On a free account, Flickr limits the number of photos displayed.
If you have fewer than 200 photos, we display them all. If you have more than 200 photos, only the most recent 200 are displayed.
Your photos are not removed from Flickr, only from the list of your photos. If you blogged a photo and it no longer appears in your list, it will still appear on your blog, and the photo's Flickr page will still work just fine.
If some of your photos aren't showing up, don't panic! Just upload some fresh ones. Or upgrade to a Pro Account.
Note: If your free account is inactive for 90 consecutive days, it will be deleted. |

Oh, I understand now ( feels very dim )
As long as they still appear on Ravelry then, that's fine. I download from my PC for my blog - I tried Photobucket once, but didn't like the fact that it took my blog so long to load up.

No need to feel dim Joy, i don't explain myself clearly enough most of the time
I have over 300 pictures in my Ravelry Stash set now, i knew i would need to upgrade as i also use it for other purposes and i didn't like being unable to access earlier photos. I've an account with photobucket, imageshack, picasa and picturetrail as well as Flickr! but for ease of uploading, sorting, blogging and Ravelling i use Flickr! almost exclusively.
For forumming i tend to use imageshack as i like the thumbnails and ease of linking but now i have worked out an easier way of linking to Flickr! pics i will probably use them to save uploading the same pic twice
