First of all, thanks to everyone for all great contributions so far.
Then the Flickr problems where Pedro is dealing with. I first thought i had to deal with the same problems, but then i found out i still could get small thumbnails with an url, copy this url into a new screen and change the small size into a big (or original) size. I only didn't manage yet to save 'k' size photos which were disabled to download, i can only save them as 'b' size.
First, you should go to the photostream of the particular Flickr member and eventually his WNBR set/collection. By clicking on one photo you will not only see this particular photo but also a small line of a few small thumbnails, including in the middle a thumbnail of this picture. All these small thumbnails will have a url. Copy this url into a new screen and change the size into big, (b), original (o) (when available) or delete the size indication (_b/_o, end with just .jpg) and you can save the pic. This is especially helpfull for those who are still using internet explorer.
