jonnyswamp Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Just went onto flickr to put some photos on here and I have a notification saying some one called Patrick has liked one of my photos on my account ? What's that all about, should I be looking at my settings on flickr, or have I got a stalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the liked photos will have been Public. @jonnyswamp, did you perhaps forget to make some of your uploads private? From memory Flickr has a fairly obscure way to indicate whether each uploaded photo should be publicly viewable or private, and it's easy to forget to set them to Private every time.

I'll have a look later, the "like" came just after I'd uploaded to Flickr and before I'd put it on here. So I have a stalker then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Having played around with Flickr a bit more this morning, setting a photo to Private will prevent it from being posted online, including here. However, instead you can set the pic to be excluded from public searches, which should be pretty much the same as Private, and should stop randoms from seeing your pics unless they navigate to your Flickr profile. jonnyswamp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
