You may have come across a cool photo from Flickr and not know who took the photo or have a link to their Flickr profile. Maybe you saved the image to your hard drive for later inspiration or saw it posted on a forum with no link. Whatever the case may be, there is a way to find the page it came from.

The name of a Flickr .jpg file usually looks something similar to this: 2293005459_803b2c35bf_o.jpg. Simply copy the first set of numbers up until the underscore, which in our example is 2293005459 and paste it after the id= sign on this address: http://www.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=[number here].

Example: http://www.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=2293005459

A simple solution to a somewhat frustrating problem.
