We have had several reports of Flickr images not showing, it seems hit and miss and there doesn't seem to be any issue on our end. Most images linked from Flickr work and even ones that appear with a Red X as a broken link show up sometimes.

I just want to let you all know that we are aware of the problem.
 
Yes - I've noticed this.
All of my image uploads are on Flickr and have a Red X, many others do to.

It must be something on this forum - because the same images are working/showing fine on other forums

Given that some people, for some flickr links on this forum see the problem but others don't, I'm not so sure, for example it might be related to individual flickr account settings, cookies, etc
 
I've had a post where some images show and others don't. Interestingly when I went to edit the posts the pictures showed up.

I doubt it @sirch given most of us normally work even if we've now started getting issues.
Previously it was a fix at the server end. Do you still have contact with the previous owner as they fixed it last time.

This^ and images posted a few weeks ago that used to show are no longer showing - yet all are showing in other forums.

I posted two images earlier today in the same post in FujiX thread, one image shows the other doesn’t!!
 
Who gave the Gremlins a slap..??

I've not seen any issues this morning and there have been a few uploads over night, Flickr thread seems clear of crosses so far..

Fingers crossed..

Thank you (y)

I've had a couple of posts that show red Xs, that are fine on the Focus on Photography forum, another one that uses the XenForo software.
 
When I updated the apps on my iPhone this morning one of the updates was from Flickr saying bug fixes, hopefully this is the fix we are all wanting.

@Gav noticed using Flickr 'Share' instead of 'BBCode' gets around it

Just for clarification, when I mentioned using the share option on the fuji thread yesterday. I was told I should be using the bbcode.
Is it ok for us to use the share method ?

What ever works. I have changed some forum settings and at the moment there seems to be fewer issues
