Several weeks back I was charged with the task of graphically displaying various sets of statistical data for the project that I have been working on. They were looking for some simple charts and graphs to make sense of the mountains of user stats that the site collects. After researching a few solutions, I decided to go with Open Flash Chart API (OFC). A few things fueled this decision, but mainly it seemed very simple and straight forward, and the previous developer had already taken a stab at the problem using this package. However a problem quickly arose.

As you may know I have the Flickr module enabled on this site. I use it to host images from my Flickr photostream instead of uploading them directly to this server. This module also provides functionality to display the Flickr pool that you can see at the far right. It's a handy module if you use Flickr, and it works fairly well. However, there is one qualm I have with the Flickr module, each image is displayed as a link that will take you off-site to the Flickr page.
