Safari can no longer connect to flic.kr???

•

For some reasons…

when viewing a post and wish to see the enlarged version
of the posted photo, it is no longer possible since two days…

"Safari can not connect to flic.kr!
​

Anyone could help me with that?

 

[neil_g]

Tried flickr.com ?

 

[gramps]

I get the same error when clicking through TP ... reported as a Bug but awaiting moderation

 

[Kodiak Qc]

Tried flickr.com ?

…that works but not if I click on posted picture!!!

TP appears to be shortening/changing the link.

 

[neil_g]

DNS issue then maybe.

Or yahoo have cocked something up which is entirely likely.

TP appears to be shortening/changing the link.

I think flickr use the .kr links in their bbcode ?

 

[killwilly]

I'm having the same issue, but it only started for me today.

 

[neil_g]

I think its a flickr issue, getting the URL from the sharing options on an image gives you a flic.kr URL which doesn't work.

 

[Kodiak Qc]

which doesn't work.

…noticed that Neil…

Any work around?

 

[neil_g]

Don't think there's any way to translate the short URL, unless you ask the poster for the full link

 

[gramps]

When I copy the BBCode from Flickr it includes a link to the image (xxxxxxx.jpg) and a URL (the Flic.kr URL) but TP seems to be just linking to the URL and not including the image link.

 

[neil_g]

Ah, change the HTTPS to http and it redirects to flickr.com

That was standard bbcode. Works other than linking through to flic.kr

Ok, but clicking on the image ... including your screenshot above, goes to the error because TP appears to be stripping the link.

Also happens in the Chrome browser on my PC.

 

[Mikesphotaes]

IE11 too.

 

[huffy]

IE10 too.

That works… cumbersome!

Also happens in the Chrome browser on my PC.

Same for me too!

no it tries to link to https://flic.kr/p/rSegLp because it is in the BBCode:

 

[neil_g]

http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/flic.kr.html

"Flic.kr is DOWN for everyone.
It is not just you. The server is not responding..."

 

[neil_g]

it must be a redirect or server issue as changing the url from:

https://flic.kr/p/rSegLp

to

http://flic.kr/p/rSegLp

works.

 

[gramps]

Ok, this is also in the link, which is the URL to the image ... https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1561/24570483003_a6a66c4e86_b.jpg (example).

I may be missing something but I can't see that anything has changed in Flickr's BBCode since using it in the past, when it worked fine.

OT.

Liking the Variant on your Flickr, Neil.

Flickr isn't down completely at the moment, I can get to my account by clicking on link in my signature.

It's the server that deals with the short form URL Flic.kr rather than the standard Flickr.com that's down

 

[killwilly]

It's most odd. If you if you click on the date and time of the image below, it will not open, but If you click on my name, it will open my Photostream

[gramps]

Hover over both of those links and look at the bottom left of your browser ... you will see that they are different URL's

 

[jakeblu]

Not working for me either, clicked links that worker earlier but now safari just says cannot connect to server. Can get on my flickr account though

That's the link to hotlink the image and not the link for when you click.

Anyway its working again now.
