An annoying thing on flickr is that you never know where people that visit your photo have found it.

This is a small script that will add a small text at the end of your comment saying where you come from.

If everyone starts using this script, then it will be easy to see where the people have found your photos and how they got to comment on it.

You can discuss this tool on Flickr Hacks original discussion.

This script comes in two flavour:

Make a Donation

26 user(s) have already donated around 3.5Â£ each to this project, why not do the same?

Donation don't have to be big to make a difference. I already received donations ranging from 0.50£ to 10£ and all of them made me happy. Think of it, if the thousand users of these tools made a small donation, it would not make a big difference to them, but it would to me.

You will probably enjoy using what you download from this website and if so, you can decide to make a donation. Making a donation is optional but will help to develop new tools and support the existing code.
