Hi there,

I've tried saving photos from Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing (http://www.flickr.com), and can't. It saves as "spaceball" and then nothing comes up... What's the deal. I'm signed in.

I just hit save to desktop and it works for me.
I heard that one of those sites is trying to charge people for downloading their pics the same way kazaa started going after people that had downloaded music.

It may depend on the picture. I don't know...

I figured out why I don't have a problem getting the photos from flickr saved onto my computer even if it says spaceball. I get them off Yahoo images and it always worked but I tried to do it directly from flickr and it came up blank.

So if you want to get a picture from flickr go to Yahoo and type the subject into the image search and a lot of the flickr photos come up and it could likely be in there.

Thank you, I will try that...
