Ha, easy way to hack through that. Gotta give them credit for being able
to do tricks like that. Lots of plug-ins for flickr. Btw, flickr has
always made it painful to view full size images, the best way I found is
to view as a slide show. Hit the pause button, turn on info in the
upper-right, make it full screen and use the arrow keys to scroll
through the galleries or jump ahead by clicking thumbs in the film strip
below. This works for accessing the full size images in the linked gallery.

It's always been 500 px max for the opening page for me.

Or it could be an expired paid account. BTW I've got a paid account and
don't have any option to turn off "all sizes"
http://www.flickr.com/account?tab=privacy
other than only uploading 500px max so yeah, it must be a built in
limitation of some sort. Similarly, if you exceed the 200 shots for the
free account, the old pics don't get erased, and they still show in
searches, just not in your photostream directly. Flickr is super
annoying in many ways but it's also quite amazingly useful.
