Thanks - I've already done that.

Nope it definitly wasn't possible before (although strangely I haven't seen any reports about this in our forum).

Yap it is now about as fast as possible - there isn't a lot of room for improvement left

There seems to be a difference between:
- Albums ONLY containing mature content
- Crawling "all albums of a user" when all of those contain 100% mature content
- Crawling all favorites of a user when only some of the images are mature content (this works fine - see the example I've sent for testing the "missing images" issue)

Exactly and this is also what wasn't possible before.
This is also a quite inconsistent behavior of flickr but maybe their API was designed with this in mind:
Why shouldn't external apps be able to access mature content if e.g. their users have to confirm their age at some other point than on the flickr website so an age confirmation via flickr account is not necessary anymore.
Whatever it is, I guess all content will be crawlable once I've fixed account support.
I'm not in the mood of looking for other tools that might be able to get around these limits via special API parameters plus account support will bring the benefit of e.g. being able to download your own private galleries.
Again I'm absolutely not a flickr user/customer myself...
