Flickr image embed - not clickable

[cduffy]

Hello all

As my site has a limit on the number of images I can display I have started using images on my Flickr in blog posts and one or two other place on my site.

I've seen an increase in my bounce rate and think this is due to people clicking on the image and being taken to Flickr. I want to prevent the image from being clicked, do any of you know how to amend the BB or HTML code so it can not be clicked?

Or, do any of you have any better suggestions on how I can get around this online storage limit (ideally free)

Thanks
Carl

It is in the T&Cs of Flickr that whenever you link to an image on there that it has to be clickable and link back to the photo page.

I am not sure what rules Dropbox have about hosting/hotlinking images for websites, might be worth checking out though.

Thanks Tom, will take a look at the Dropbox T&C's

You could always set the links to open in a new tab.

Thanks Lewis. Yes I've thought about this and have done so with a couple of the other links on my site. Looks like this will be the best option.
