 * Hi!
    I just installed the flickr embed plug-in and all works fine up til the 
   time I want to upload photos. Whenever I click the flickr button on the visual
   board, the ffg message appears:
 * AJAX error: parsererror (SyntaxError: Unable to parse JSON string)
 * I am also running on a PHP 5.3. How can I make this plug-in work? Thanks!

 * Same error for me – quite disappointed as it looked like a great solution!

 * Sorry, my error is slightly different:
 * “AJAX error: parsererror (SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier“
   invalid”)

 * Can you please paste here what shows up in the Javascript console? (use Ctrl 
   + Shift + I for most browsers). The ‘Network” tab in that console also shows 
   which request failed. That would be useful information too.
