i have been having this problem since yesterday, thought it might resolve itself by today but it doesnt. hope someone can help here.
my photo which is posted from flickr on my blog is replaced by a white box that says photo currently unavailable. i’m not sure what to do, dont want to delete the post and post again as i have comments left over.

if anyone met with the same problem or knows what to do, can u please help? thanks a lot!

It would be easier if we had a link to the post where the image is and a link to the image’s Flickr page.

Nope, I’m just a volunteer in the forum.

You’ve got the image set to be un-hotlinkable. If you click and try to save it, what you get is spaceball.gif instead of the image URL. You’ve got to change the settings on Flickr.

This is the actual URL, which I had to find by looking through the code on that page:

hi again! i’m impressed by how fast u reply! many thanks!

my settings on flickr has always been un-hotlinkable and never met a problem with it. so why now? would u know the reason?

i see the link you gave me, does that mean i have to go back to my page and change my current post link to this? :)

I have no idea why this is causing a problem now when it didn’t before.

Yes, you have to change the link in your post to the link I posted above.
