Hi,

Prior to the last update (or maybe prior to Flickr trying to reinvent the wheel), Flickr-API2-Photo->page_url was returning URLs in the form of http://flickr.com/photos/ 12345678@N99 /1234567890

Now, instead of containing the user_id , URLs contain the user name , which cause most of them to be invalid. Even worst, some user names contains more than one word and/or invalid characters.

As a workaround, I now use short_url method (such URLs correctly translate to the ones with user_id).

Is there something you can do about it?

Thanks,
Myriam
