Klondike: What is the "flickr tricker"? How do I use it?
I own a Mac and for me, you just control click (maybe right click for PC) on the thumb, then select "view image" (or whatever for PC, but the idea is to get the pic URL up in your browser). For example:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3432/...44932e5b_s.jpg

This is the pic URL for one of the pics in the Polar Bear gallery. You should just see the pic thumb (as is denoted by the "s" at the end before ".jpg") Now simply change the "s" to a "b" or "o" to get the full sized image. I try "b" first because its not as likely that an "o" will work. "o" sizes are larger than "b" sizes. Sometimes both "b" and "o" will work, and sometimes neither work.

Flanker7 and others have posted these instructions elsewhere and likely they are more specific for PC users. MAybe try a search if you cant get it to work because I don't own a PC.
