I’ve created quite a few Greasemonkey scripts for Flickr, and many of them are documented poorly or not at all, so I decided to create a permanent home for these scripts. They’re sorted roughly in terms of usefulness:
- Flickr Photo Page Enhancer (screenshot): This script does a lot of things, and is the result of a lot of feedback and collaboration with the great Flickr Hacks community. The script adds direct links to all of an image’s sizes, as well as a “Quick Link” box to quickly copy and paste the HTML for a thumbnail link. It also automatically loads your most used tags whenever you click to add a tag to an image. 1-Dec-2005: Now compatable with GM 0.6.4 & FF 1.5.
- Flickr: Thumbnails Enhancer (screenshot): adds the number of comments and notes to each photo listed in any list of thumbnails on Flickr (i.e. group pools, photos from your contacts, favorites, etc.). 16-May-2006: Updated for compatibility with Flickr Gamma.
- Flickr User Icon Enhancer (screenshot): Flickr provides links to view a user’s photos and to add the user as a friend, wherever you see a user icon, throughout the site. This script enhances that a bit, adding links directly to a user’s profile, their favorite photos, and to send the user a FlickrMail. 16-May-2006: Made redundant by changes to the way user icons work in Flickr Gamma, script is no longer being updated.
- Flickr Login Enhancer (screenshot): After you edit this script to include all the various Flickr usernames in your household, the default login screen will be replaced with a drop-down box, reducing the number of times per day you have to type your email address.
- Flickr Rich Edit (screenshot) Add limited rich editing capabilities (italic, bold, blockquote, link) to any input in Flickr where you can use HTML (comments, groups, batch edit). Updated 29-Jun-05
- Flickr: Return-to-Page on Login: This script makes it so that clicking ‘Login’ on any Flickr page will return you to that page after you log in. This is the default behavior on some Flickr pages (like Groups), but not all. This script makes it site-wide.
- Flickr Tag Quick Edit: If you have editing privileges on an image, next to the little [x] to remove a tag you’ll now find a link directly to the page that allows you to edit all instances of that tag. Added 2005-Aug-08

Thank you for these, by the way. They have enhanced my “Flickr experience.”
Flickr Photo Page Enhancer doesn’t work with GM 0.6.3. Any chance you’ll update your script?
I haven’t kept up with GM development (and I’m not running the newer stuff on a daily basis), so the answer for right now is no. I’d planned to get to it when the current FF beta was actually released, but I’d also hoped that none of my scripts would break so soon. It may be a month before I have time to fix it, but I will.
Thanks.
I would love to see the Flickr Photo Page Enhancer updated for the new Flickr redesign: Gamma. It was one of my favorite scripts…now it won’t work!
It should still work, unless I’m totally insane… What exacty is no longer working for you? Have you tried uninstalling the script and reinstalling it from the original source location? That seems to always be everyone’s first advice in situations like this.
