   I just got an email from Flickr telling me that this plugin is violating their terms of service - is there any way to fix this? This is the message they sent:

   "Do link back to Flickr when you post your Flickr content elsewhere. The Flickr service makes it possible to post content hosted on Flickr to outside web sites. However, pages on other web sites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr."

   The lightbox slideshow script you are using makes two errors:

   1) It does not link back to Flickr
   2) It links to static.flickr.com URLs. They should be linking to our individual farm servers. Relying on the old 'static.flickr.com' URLs increases our overhead in processing them. See our documentation on constructing URLs:

   Looking at v1.2 it says it links back to flickr.

   Don't know about the links yet.

   Btw there is a comment section on the developer page also.

   It's all sorted now I've been in touch with the Flickr folks and they said version 1.2 with the link back to flickr is fine
