Posting this in the gear forums for visibility.

1) Have you been seeing blue boxes in place of embedded images lately? See example below. I see this for my own embedded photos and others half the time now.







2) Are Flickr users seeing this today? Most of my sharing options are gone on both public and private photos, including the option to download my own photos and see photos at all available sizes.

No.

Desktop user, Brave browser, everything seems normal.

That is super helpful, I’m trying to put together a support ticket with as much information as possible, thanks John.

Looking more closely at desktop, the download button is still there, just invisible. If you hover over the space it should be to the right of the share arrow, you can click it and see all sizes.

I saw a handful of blue boxes last week, but I know the same images I couldn't see were visible a short time later. I don't remember which browsers (between desktop and mobile). Checked some threads now, and I don't see any boxes.

Checking @James Burden@'s post there, I see both images on Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Brave for Win 11, and Safari, Edge, and Brave for iOS.

And no to the invisible share button on Edge Win11.

No issues with either, but I let my pro subscription lapse and never renewed. No idea if that makes a difference.

As a data point, I am also a Flickr peasant at the moment.

Paid or free doesn't seem to have any bearing. Nor does OS/browser. It's very hit or miss from what I've compiled.

Here’s a BBCode-based repost from Flickr:

Soft Light, Ellery Lake by G Dan Mitchell, on Flickr

I’m just seeing the broken image icon in place of my photograph.

What's funny is I've been able to see every pic posted in here, even if the posters have reporting not being able to see it themselves.

I see the ones posted here. And my sharing options are all there including sizes on the website.

however when I hit submit, I had a blue box, then I hit refresh and the blue box went away and the Flickr information was present and there was just an empty gap where the pic would be.

Question 1)

Lately when I upload to flickr then post it here (via BBcode) shortly afterwards, it just shows the x box here for anywhere from a few hours to a day or more, then starts showing the image after that (refreshing didn't help until enough time had passed).

I wondered if it was something in flickr servers taking a while to catch up with a recently uploaded photo.

But presumably others could see the image from the start as the posts have had 'likes' fairly promptly.

Posting an older one here to see if it does the same when it isn't a recent upload:

Eyre Mountains by Ben, on Flickr


Edit - that one worked straight away


Question 2)

I haven't seen any change to my sharing or download options in flickr.
