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.
