I would like to delete photos from my Flickr but do not want to mess up rff threads

I would like to delete some photos from my flickr, but the problem is, they are linked to some threads here and I do not want to mess up the threads....I hate looking at threads that have lots of "white boxes"....

Does anybody have any advice how I can go about doing this?

Cheers, michael

I believe you can make the flickr photos 'private' so they're only visible to you on flickr without disturbing the rff link. As for outright deletion on flickr, I don't know how it'd be possible to maintain the associated rff image, unless you posted the photos elsewhere and went back and updated all of your posts here with the new urls.

thanks, I'll try that and see what happens

cheers, michael

Thanks guys.... just checked on Flickr and if I set the photo to "private" it will "break" any link to the photo....so, I am not going to delete photos from my Flickr because I do not want to mess up threads here.....oh well, at least I know now....

cheers, michael

Start a new Flickr account and let the old one be.

Michael, it's up to you, the photos are yours and you may have your reasons to delete them, placing RFF threads above personal choices may not be the best thing to do 🙂

Hey Michael...

I just want to say thanks for being considerate of future readers of old threads here at RFF - I, too, dislike seeing references to photos that are no longer there. I think Frank has the best idea, although that may or may not be practical in your case.

Cheers,

Lee

Its giving deference to the greater RFF community to delete your broken photo links.
I try to follow my own advice in this regard. 🙄

FWIW ~ I do enjoy seeing the photos in threads and do not like the '?' marks or white squares either.

. . . . . I did pay the $25.00 to upgrade to the pro status which give unlimited storage . . . . .
