Adding an image to the FFS Challenge on Flickr

 To add an image to the FFS Group,, when uploading you can select down in the left hand corner the option to make your image private . Untick the public box and tick the "only me" box. (Private images always have a little pink box instead of green attached to the image...)
      Images are visible to anyone in a group to which a private image is added to. This also means your FFS image is invisible on your photostream while visible in the FFS group.
