免费意味着限制

前两天就发现我的flickr较早上传的照片好像看不到了，但是在我blog上的link仍然可以显示。

今天好好看了一下flickr的help，才发现这就是free account的限制(“Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images”)，气死我了，这样就失去我使用flickr的意义了。

这就是免费的限制，就没有办法了么？

当然有，解决这个问题大致有两个思路：

1。就是购买Flickr的Pro Account，这是正途。但是我看来是不会有闲钱做这个了，wuWU。当然如果有好心人purchase a gift account for me，那就太感激了，我会提供更多更好的photos给大家欣赏。

2。这是一个比较现实的取巧方法，我发现group中的photos仍然可以浏览到，可能group是公共area的原因吧。那就自己建立多建几个group，而不是只是靠set来分类（这样还可以突破另外一个限制“3 photosets”，我不用set，用group，^_^）。所有的photots都加到各自的group中，这样就可以方便浏览到所有的photos了。这个方法也存在一个问题，就是如何批量将photos加入某个group，我还没有找到方法。（本方法仍未确认！）

3. Can I pay to keep more of my photos on Flickr?

Absolutely! Upgrade to a Pro Account for just US$24.95 a year. Here's what you'll get with a Pro Account:

• 2 GB monthly upload limit
• Unlimited storage
• Unlimited bandwidth
• Unlimited photosets
• Permanent archiving of high-resolution original images
• Ad-free browsing and sharing

Compare that to what you get with a Free Account:

• 20 MB monthly upload limit
• 3 photosets
• Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images
• Storage of smaller (resized) images

For more information, visit our upgrade page.

4. How can I purchase a gift account?

There are two ways you can buy a gift account. The first way is to go to the Buy a Pro Account page and click the link "buy a gift subscription for a friend". You can either choose a contact from the drop-down menu or enter a screen name of the person you'd like to buy a gift account for.

The other way to buy a gift account is to select one of your contacts, friends or family members from "Your contacts". Look for the hyperlinked text in the upper right-hand corner -- "Sponsor (user) with a gift Flickr Pro Account". This takes you to a page where you can purchase a gift account for that special someone.
