As we all know, Flickr has its funny little ways. There doesn't seem to be anything to be done about this: you ignore it you find a workaround, or you go elsewhere. I'm not enthusiastic about its new trick of adding tags to my pictures, but mostly I pretend not to notice.

I have just uploaded the last batch of photos from Skye (so there may be another holiday post quite soon) and this was one of them:

Sheep


I tagged it with the location 'hebrides, skye' and then on second thoughts went back to add 'sheep', because I might want to find all my pictures of sheep, sometime. Flickr had got in ahead of me, and added the tag 'sheep'. Also 'outdoor' 'animal' and 'carnivore'.

Do they know something I don't?

Good to know it's possible to get rid of them - but, like [livejournal.com profile] lil_shepherd, I can't find settings...

They only do it to annoy -

Click on your buddy icon.
Choose settings.
Choose privacy & permissions.
Under Global settings (the first section) you'll see "Show autotags."
Edit it.
Select no to stop Flickr automatically tagging you.

Brilliant! Thank you! I'd clicked everything I could think of - but hadn't thought of the wee icon ('buddy' icon? really? oh, well...)
