31-12-2008: Version 4.7.5 (stable)

03-08-2008: Version 4.5.1 (stable)
Integrated compatibility to new Wordpress 2.6.

14-07-2008: Version 4.5.0 (stable)
User Ben made the comment that square brackets can be used in both HTML and Visual view, instead of arrow brackets. I added for the set_id this new function in parallel to the original one.
Starting with this version you can now use:
<set_id=”72157606099554039″> OR
[set _ id=72157606099554039] (without the blanks before and after the underscore)
The latter having the advantages mentioned above and originally by Ben. If their is the need for the other tags to be changed, I’ll incorporate this as well, depending on any feedback I’ll get through emails or comments on this blog.

FAQ:
===
Q: I can’t seem to get Firefox to work. The plugin works on all other tested browsers that I have as well as Mac/PC, but Firefox on the Mac the Flickr plugin just errors saying no photo’s available.

A: You often have installed just a lot of plugins in your browsers, which can avoid FSSW to work correctly. FSSW itself is calling only standard Flash Slideshow from Flickr, hence most often and most probably any challenges occur due to errors on client-browser side. Please try first to disable all extensions.

I recommend you to ask as well Magic Donkey for testing your installation in principle an please use fantastic tool browsershots.org to get your installation tested in most common current browsers.

If you still encounter an issue, please post your question but please don’t forget to mention your browser release and version number and the OS you are using.
