okay, I went to the flickr forums.

apparently EVERYONE is having this problem.

but I will warn Devorah and others who may have kids who read this site: you may not want to look at the photos until I say things seem to be fixed. Some of the photos that are subbing are nasssssty and I wouldn't want more innocent eyes to see them.

I'm really ticked off by this. I hope it's just a random glitch and not someone vandalizing what WAS a good photo sharing system. Grr.
