I received an email today saying our portfolio is no longer working on our website?

The portfolio in question was powered by Flickr and displayed using a Javascript lightbox. This was a pretty nifty way of giving clients a low cost and user friendly way of uploading image files.

Upon checking I found this message on Flickr:

As of today, flickr pages displayed in an iframe break out and replace the entire page. This breaks my flickr app Discussr. Is there any particular reason for this change? It seems pointless and rude to me.

It seems like they've upset a few people by doing this. Not giving any advance notice certainly didn't help matters.

The main reason given is that they don't like having their content framed in other sites. They've never liked it. It doesn't drive direct.

I don't see what the problem was, Flickr branding was plastered all over the slideshows anyway so viewers still knew who was powering things.

Looks like I've got some fixing to do. A few options of app are given in the thread, I'll look into them.
