A script to remove the invisible image blocking images on flickr

A script to remove the invisible image (spaceball.gif) blocking images on flickr.

Not by me! I only made very slight modifications to get rid of some error messages. Originally from here here. I thought I'd post it here, since it's very useful.

you know what though people block their images for a reason and I think it is sad that others are so desperate to violate someone elses privacy. All you are doing by posting this thread is giving the sickos out there a way to go around the security that members have put up to protect their children or clients. So shame on you.

peuh-bugmenot is correct, you can just use adblock to block this. Go to a photo page where someone has this turned on, right click on the photo (command click on OSX) and select 'Adblock image' and make sure "http://l.yimg.com/www.flickr.com/images/spaceball.gif" come up. That's the image you want to block.

I figure using adblock will be better performance wise than another javascript script running,

Not usefull you can always block the spaceball.gif as any other image in the page with adblock or if using opera with content blcker built-in.

Plus the script do not work
