Flickr Auto Pagination 1.1

Flickr was at some time part of the Web 2.0 innovation crowd, but lately their interface is not making the most of the available technologies. In particular switching pages has become a bad reflex for all the users when "infinite scrolling" can easily be implemented.

Infinite Scrolling for Flickr | 18 April 2007, by Mortimer

This greasemonkey script makes small changes to the interface removing the need for you to click on the pagination number and wait for loading times every time you go to the next/previous page.

"Flickr Photos from your Contacts Infinite Scroll"

When you browse paginated pages on flickr [1], the script will fetch the next page and append it automatically at the end of the current page while you scroll down.

The initial load time for the page is the same as the normal loading time. The next pages are only loaded when you scroll to the end of the current page. This means less clicks for you, but also shorter loading times for the next pages.

Make a Donation

2 user(s) have already donated around 1.8£ 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.

All the software, scripts and other tools distributed on this web site are distributed under open source licenses and are available to download for free. Making the code free and available to all doesn't means it's of lower quality. The tools provided here are fully functional and their author invested some of his personal time to develop them and provide support to their users.

Think about it.

P.S.

The following scripts will not work on the next pages loaded by this script:

Flickr: Style your contacts 0.5 Flickr: Pool Date 0.5 Flickr Buddy Icon Reply other scripts I don’t know about that apply to the pages affected by this script.

The edit of the title and description will also be disabled on your stream view for the photos coming from pages after the first one.
