A bit sad, though in line with their ToS. I suppose the alternative would be to DIY and use an RSS feed of image information (or perhaps something more in depth like direct queries) - though this would put a large strain on the API key (methinks). Cheers for the response though! @tate: Trust you to get sidetracked there!

I know what you mean.. people are asking for mp3 support and I'm like waht?! heh. As for the new slideshows, I have written a ton of code trying to get them to work and they do.. for about 5 hours. Flickr took a different strategy with the new slideshows which makes it a bit more complex to embed properly. If I do offer the new slideshows, which I do actually like, it would likely have to rely on a script hosted on my server that updated every few hours as flickr uses a unique token which changes every so often.
