    I want to rearrange my Flickr albums.

    I intend consolidation by reducing the number of albums but retaining all the photos.

    Will this break links in other sites to the photos?

    (I don’t expect it to be a problem, but best to check)

    Also any way to check where a Flickr photo is linked to?

    One way is to google the image name – its usually pretty much unique as its automatically generated by Flickr

    Can’t help with the rest, I gave up with Flickr sometime ago

    If the links are to photos and not the album page then it will make no difference as links to photos don’t normally have any album info in them.

    Yes, what footflaps says. Changing albums won’t change the filenames, so links will still work.

    Note if you set the photos as private, that will probably change the file names etc, so will break any links.

    Thanks, I’ll test it with a pic here and then change its album later tonight.

    You should be able to google “link:https://www.flickr.com/photos/%5BYOUR_FLICKR_NAME%5D/”

    But I’m finding googling for anything using the ‘link:’ prefix is not working at the moment.

    If it works it will only find things that Google has indexed.

    Consolidation works. Moved the above pic to new album and deleted the old one.

    Tried that Google and it didn’t work for me either.
