Comment on Remind HN: Your Flickr Favourites Are (Still) Public and Searchable

Comments

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't personal favourites made available to the public in two clicks instead of one in the 'old' design as well? And you could see all users that added a photo as a favourite when viewing the photo?

It just never occured to me that it was a feature that was not meant to be 'public'.

I just thought of a way to check: archive.org.

It does indeed show that favourites were available from the user page: http://web.archive.org/web/20130501115607/http://www.flickr.....

As a result, I removed the paragraph from the OP. This is what it read, to anyone visiting just now:

    In addition, your favourites are now a single click 
    away for users in the redesign of your user profile. 
    It’s entirely possible this was the case before, though.

Thanks for confirming. I haven't touched flickr for a while either, until this new redesign fanfare :)
