    Save photos from Flickr
    Hi there,

    I've tried saving photos from Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing, 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.

    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.
