Hmmm, this seems weird…

Go to this Flickr page: /photos/tags/water/ and this Flickr page: /creativecommons/by-nc-sa-2.0/tags/water/

The first one, which is all photos tagged with ‘water’ regardless of license, has an RSS feed you can subscribe to. The second one, which has photos tagged with ‘water’ made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 license, does not…

Seems to me that you would want an RSS feed of by-nc-sa license photos, eh?

(Update: I may or may not have heard that RSS feeds for the CC stuff should happen in the future. Yay!)

You know how you search, and you get a results page and it says something like:

12 results found!
Displaying 1 – 10 of 12

And then you need to go to the second page to see the last two results?

This is due to some programmer deciding (or more likely not deciding) that you should always display a list of 10 items per page, and the last page will have the remainder. Why not just round the number of results properly and display 1 – 12 of 12, or 50 – 66 of 66, etc?
