Implemented Flickr embed issues? Anyone?

[husky123]

Flickr recently changed some things and now I can't embed photos the way I used to? I mean, it gives me an option to embed and the code but I just get that blue "?" when I post? Anyone experience this or have a solution? Thanks a ton!

You are not alone. I can not figure it out ether.

I'll be taking the board offline late tonight to apply various updates, one of which will fix Flickr. Thanks!

Excellent. Thanks for the update Paul and sorry if this has been posted before.

I still can't get photos to embed correctly after the site was down last night?

Image test.

@husky123 and @hdracer : Are you both using IE?

Nevermind - I found the problem. Will work on a fix soon.

Thanks Paul. For the record though, I'm using Safari.

For now, on flickr can you click on share and then select "BBCode"? Testing:

I'm. It sure if this is related, but I can't link URLs anymore....trying to link a fleaBay auction below, something turns my Link into the media coding below, said media coding generates no output.

URL is "http://www.ebay.com/itm/331205773960"

Generated code is

"http://www.ebay.com/itm/331205773960"

Hmm....can't link the code...just converts it.....that seems to be newer behavior...might need to reverse that.....

I can pm you the eBay URL if you want it.

This is actually a 'feature' - just like youtube links are converted to embedded videos. If we don't want the ebay one I can disable it...

If you could disable it it'd be great....never seems to work.

I had an issue on media with downloading a soundcloud link. I also tried cutting and pasting the BB code in the share box on soundcloud. Didn't work. Not sure if that is related either, I did see other users that have SC files download. The SC image is there, but grayed out. I tried it on both IE9 and Google Chrome. Grrr.

@tbz So you're post above (with the ebay links) doesn't look like this? :

Do you remember what the soundcloud link was? I can take a look at it...

On my iPad 2, on safari, that does not render at all. Just have big empty spaces there.

Looks like it does for everyone else....is that flash based?

Ahh, yes it's flash-based. Ebay is one of the only media embeds that use flash. I'll remove it for now. Give me a day or two, I have to write some code to fix all the posts that have the ebay flash embedded and convert them back to a link.

@tbz Ebay is fixed. No more ebay flash.
