Nope, it doesn't. Foo.

I've asked Pulse about Flickr integration, will know more in a day or two.

Yes,it's from the beginning

Yes,it's from the beginning of the last day of AIDS Lifecycle 7. That's my peacock feather outfit!

Oh, and Weavolution looks great on an iPhone...!

I see the photo, full height,

I see the photo, full height, not full width, and BIG. The cutoff is a few hairs to the right of the 't' on the Castelli hat.
The Weavolution page does not scroll any wider for me with this embedded, I don't know if that is good or bad since the scrolling annoys me.

I think it's OK to cut off

I think it's OK to cut off the photo if it's excessively large. I happened to select an oversize photo for embedding (which is being done via the Flickr HTML cut-and-paste, by the way) - I don't think there is any way to auto-resize photos that are displayed via an HTML link, but I'll ask.

Columns in Weavolution are fixed-width, so we'd have to put in a scroll bar.

Love the peacock outfit,

Love the peacock outfit, Tien!

Size of photo to drop in from Flickr should be choosable from within Flickr, yesno? Auto-cropping as with the Yarns sample photo would work.

I guess what bothers me is

I guess what bothers me is that I already have a scroll bar appearing on most Weavolution pages. I would have expected to be able to scroll the whole photo.

I can see what is happening, and that would be aFlickr issue, I believe. The photo that shows in the example above seems to be the 'large' (1024x769) size on Flickr, not the default 'medium' (500x375) size on the main Flickr page for the image.

Could get strange if there are a lot of photos being linked in forums, but if that is what Flicker shows with HTML linking, then...

I think that's because I copied the link from the "large" size photo page, so it embedded the larger photo rather than the "regular" size one.

What size monitor do you have, if I may ask? I'm curious at what size Weavolution starts scrolling.

It's an 18", set at 1024x768.

It's an 18", set at 1024x768. You can see the teensy bit of scrolling needed in any of the screenshots from I posted in other threads. The other day there was one area which did not scroll, but today all pages do.

Opened it up on my ultralight laptop and I see what you mean. I'll ask if they can reduce whitespace enough that it fits on a 1024x768 screen without the scroll bar appearing. It looks like it shouldn't take much.
