Okay, I'll try to explain more clearly; I re-read my most recent post and it's pretty muddy. We can thank the inventors of Percocet for that...
If you are having trouble getting your images to show up on the NIN
beta image site, try the steps below.
If you already know that your account has been reviewed as safe, skip Steps 1a through 1g, and go straight to Step 2.
Step 1a: Log in to Flickr. We're going to have your account reviewed.
Step 1b: Follow this link: [
www.flickr.com]
Step 1c: Follow the instructions on that page to request a review.
Step 1d: Be patient, or a fake a reasonable approximation of patience. (Mine was reviewed in a few hours, yours may take longer.)
Step 1e: When you finally can't stand the suspense any longer, follow this link to find out if your account has been reviewed: [
www.flickr.com]
Step 1f: Look for the following line of text on the upper half of that page:
Your account has been reviewed as safe by Flickr staff. (What does that mean?)
Step 1g: If that line is present, you are good to go on to
Step 2. If it is not present, go do something else for a while...hours perhaps, maybe you'd like a nice cold beer and a friendly game of nine ball? Whatever. Then repeat
Steps 1d through 1f,
Step 2: Flag your images as publicly searchable
twice. I don't know why this has to happen, but it seems to work for me. Click on the "Flag your Photo" link at the bottom right hand of the image page. the popup has a checkbox labled "Hide this photo from public searches" if it is unchecked, check it, then save. Then go back in, uncheck it, and save again. Note: Anything you posted before the review is still flagged private, you will have to re-flag it.
Step 3: Flag all images you want in the NIN galleries as "
Photograph". NIN only seems to be able to see Flickr images flagged as "Photograph" If it is flagged as "Screenshot" or "Art/Illus.", NIN can't find it, at least in my experience.
Okay, that's about as detailed as I'm mentally capable of making this right now.
Again, Good luck to all of you. if you TOTALLY can't figure this out even with the above instructions, PM me. I will give you my number and talk you through it, time permitting.
Cheers,
