Haha thanks. I am trying to figure out how to embed Flickr thumbnails with links to the original image without them becoming a memory-intensive/slow-loading slideshow. (Also, whatever server/code they are using for the slideshow is blocked by my work internet.)

Can't seem to figure it out. It seems the backend of the message board somehow recognizes the link as a Flickr album and turns it into a slideshow. If I change the linked URL to something different, or even just flic.kr, it remains a regular thumbnail. For example, in my post above with the bathroom photos, they use the exact same EMBED code, except the bottom image has the link changed from "flic.kr/p/alsdkjflsdjfk" to "flic.kr". (On my computers at least, the top image is being loaded as a slideshow, and the bottom is being loaded as a thumbnail.)

I was looking at my old posts with embedded thumbnails with links to the originals, and if I copy/paste the same code into a new post, it now becomes a slideshow.

Anyone have any solutions?
