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.

For PC's right click on the thumbnail. Then left click on properties. Copy/Paste the Address for the thumbnail from the properties page: (URL) (ie: [url]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3465/3362061372_1ea3f93a33_s.jpg then change the _s to _b. Sometimes this won't work though (I was unsuccessful trying to expand other pics in this set) and you are stuck with the .gif image. Does anyone know of a way to convert .gif to .jpeg? I googled it, but the tools listed didn't seem to work for me.
