When someone clicks on my Flickr link they get a message 403 you don't have permission to view anything. I have tried the public view and I have tried the all view and still get the same results. What should set the permission to, so anyone can view and why is it doing this on both?

I use Flickr as well and have never had a problem.

Note that you can't change Privacy of photos on a phone, only on a computer.

Thank you. Not exactly my question but very useful information. A heck of a lot steps just to post a photo.

What I am asking is what permission level I should give in flicker so anyone can look at my photos? I think it is public. So what is the difference between public view and all view?

I think I see the problem. I assume you are on your home screen like this. the little drop down arrow gives you View all, Public View, Friend View etc. This arrow does *not* set permissions. It simply shows you which photos are visible based on each kind of permission.

Instead do this: Go to "camera roll." Select the photos you want to share. In the lower row select "Privacy" and then change the photos to Public.

The *default* is Private. So I just "select all" for each day and change them en masse to Public. That should fix your problem?
