Fortunately, John over at Sinosplice was nice enough to share Access Flickr!, a little gem of a Firefox plugin that lets all us unfortunate to be subject to the schitzo on again off again (more off again) whims of the GFW view Flickr in all its photographical glory.
Thanks loads for the useful advice! Definitely helped me manoeuvre around the great firewall.
That’s what we’re here for 😉 Well, credit really needs to go to Sinosplice, and he gives credit to a Flickr board (or something)… but it’s all about sharing 😉

Hi, but unfortunately after installing firefox and the access flickr plug in, I still cannot login to flickr at https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=flickr&.scrumb=0&new=1&.pd=c%3DE0.GahOp2e4MjkX.5l2HgAoLkpmyPvccpVM-&.intl=us&.logout=1&.direct=1&.done=https%3A%2F%2Flogin.yahoo.com%2Fconfig%2Fvalidate%3F.src%3Dflickr%26.pc%3D5134%26.scrumb%3D0%26.pd%3Dc%253DE0.GahOp2e4MjkX.5l2HgAoLkpmyPvccpVM-%26.intl%3Dus%26.done%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.flickr.com%252Fsignin%252Fyahoo%252F
@Eoin: The Access Flickr plugin is not for helping you log into Flickr – that, best I know, isn’t blocked (or wasn’t earlier today).
The plugin allows you to see the photos from Flickr. The flickr block was limited to the domains that host flickr photos (not the actual flickr domain), and so this allowed a way to circumvent the problem.
Have you tried the link above? I cannot login to flickr using that or even any link on the flickr website
Hey Eoin, I can’t go to that site either and am not really sure what that site is. Not sure why you’re unable to log in. I’ve not noticed any problems with the login on Flickr’s main site when I log in.
