How to make flickr a better experience?
I am sure a lot of us use flickr to host our photos online. So, this thread is to share how Flickr can be a better experience for everyone. These scripts allow for customization of your flickr with essential tools which I believe that most of us commonly use. Installing some of the scripts has helped me do specific tasks in a shorter time.
You will need the following:
~Firefox web browser (version 2/3)
~Greasemonkey Firefox Addon
~Greasemonkey Flickr userscripts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
I'd assume you'd know how to install firefox.
To install the greasemonkey addon. Click on this
Once that had been installed and firefox restarted, follow the next step.
To install the flickr scripts below. Just click on INSTALL NOW which is located beneath each script description.
A window like this will pop up
Click INSTALL
and voila! You're done!
Start experiencing flickr like never before!
Below are my list of favorite scripts that make flickr better.

5.)Flickr Auto Page
Script Summary:
Infinite Scrolling for Flickr: this greasemonkey script removes the need to go from pages to pages in Flickr by automatically expanding the display when you scroll. It works on discussion boards, photostream and etc. As long there are multiple pages in the Flickr page, it will load itself once you scroll down.

Some scripts might interfere with one another. So, it's a mix and match of the scripts that you want to use. They usually interfere with one another if the scripts provides the same function or uses a specific part of the flickr page. If you face a non working script. Disable all the scripts and enable them one by one to test.
