Flickr: The Help Forum: Can’t view my original sizes; solve this manually with a simple URL workaround
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/04/17
In every new update, Flickr either seems to hide, or move useful options away.
About a month ago, this was the case with the “View All Sizes” of a photo. Having multiple sizes of a photo is one of the key features when Flickr was introduced. There is even a naming scheme for these resized photos.
A very useful option when you need thumbnails (for instance when you write a blog).
It later got resolved, but now the option is tucked away like 4 mouse clicks (on various areas of your screen) deep:
When selecting ‘download/all sizes’ a ‘view all sizes’ link now appears.
If there is nothing wrong with your typing skills, this is a very quick workaround: add `/sizes` at a specific part of the photo URL.
For instance, these URLs:
- https://www.flickr.com/photos/jwpluimers/13486869224/
- https://www.flickr.com/photos/jwpluimers/4861515328/in/set-72157624522414809
become
- https://www.flickr.com/photos/jwpluimers/13486869224/sizes
- https://www.flickr.com/photos/jwpluimers/4861515328/sizes
