Until yesterday I used to be able to open my photos on Flickr to select the size I wanted. I would then copy the image location so that I could paste it into the Insert Media dialogue for posting in a thread. Now when I click on the Flickr menu and choose Download/All Sizes I get a box which only gives me a limited range of sizes. Furthermore, all I can do is download the file. I can't see how to get the link to paste into the insert media box.
Has anyone else encountered this?

I managed to get a screenshot of the Flickr dialogue box which I've never seen before.

Yes, I am.
I found an opt out which has enabled me to go back to the old experience. I do wish they'd stop tinkering about with everything.
Lots more changes afoot I'm sad to say: www.flickr.com/.../72157641185912155 and http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157642307716514/page3/
Just don't see why they can't leave it alone.
I've transferred my entire stream over to Ipernity, ready for when Flickr impose the changes on everyone completely, as I doubt I'll last long with the new layout. Don't like it at all. My subscription with them runs out in November so will see how things are then. Find Ipernity far more user friendly and more like the old (pre May 2013) Flickr used to be!

My photos on Flickr
Thanks, Rockwolf. I might take a look at Ipernity. I really don't like the way Flickr is going.
Ipernity have made it incredibly easy! www.ipernity.com/.../gm
I used the Flickr.album.importer to transfer each set (max 2000 images per set); it transfers descriptions, tags, and locations (if used obviously).
If you have a photo in more than one set, it doesn't duplicate... very clever!!
Can run in background too as long as window left open.
Alan, have you tried linking some photos from Ipernity and posting them using the Insert/Edit Media dialogue. I'd like to know if it works before moving photos over from Flickr.
That worked but presumably only by giving the link. Doesn't look as though you can embed the image.
Stunning series of shots BTW
Oh, I clicked on a link called 1600 and it went to your image.

Yes, I found that but assumed it was because I hadn't signed up. Looks like it's the same even if you are a member. Bummer.
There's always some blo*dy snag
