Facebook and Flickr

[Mangelwurzel]

I have my flickr uploads set to import into my facebook news feed but for the last couple of days it's not working.
I get the message "Importing from external sites failed. Please try again later." when i try to update manually.
Anyone else notice the same? I've not altered any settings on FB or flickr

My facebook no longer imports images from my Flickr either. Strange.

i thought FB terms and conditions ment they owned the copyright to all pics uploaded to FB? if thats the case why would you want to?

That was months ago and the amount of complaints they got meant they revoked those T&C's.

even so theyre not uploaded to FB just linked from back over to your flickr pages

The facebook and flickr app no longer works for me too. To be honest facebook has gone downhill with their external apps.

i thought thas was only the case when you uplaod to fb server,
you have to tick that box saying you own it

but as the photo's are not on facebook, you are not accepted any term's, they they can do anything with the photo's..

Which app does everyone use to show Flickr uploads in the News Feed?

I don't use an app, just the option within FB.
On your FB profile you click on 'Settings' and then under 'Imported Stories' you have the option to link to flickr/youtube accounts etc.

Edit: Mine seems to be working today btw

or you can goto Your account, then Extending Flickr

then just click the link, next to Your facebook account
