Ah well... I decided to not renew my pro account last September, and I haven't missed it at all. I don't really do much with "the community" there, I just used it as a place to park photos that I wanted to share with specific people like the PDML. Or family who aren't on fb. (you know, old

Har! This may also be a case of be careful what you wish for. There was a general Internet cry of "Fix Flickr!" last July when Marissa was hired as CEO. So she has. But she assumed a different interpretation of fix. On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 9:17 AM, John Sessoms wrote: > Didn't the CEO of Yahoo

Didn't the CEO of Yahoo announce they weren't going to fuck up Tumbler? I guess they had to do something to sublimate the urge. From: Bruce Walker That's not the half of it. They've also moved most of the "pro" features over to the Free account level and made the paid, ad-free, level twice what

Supposedly, all your pictures will be visible. Some people are reporting that there is still a 300MB monthly upload limit. If that is true, you'd never be able to take advantage of all the space (unless you have 277 years left to live). On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 12:30 AM, Igor Roshchin wrote: > >

Boris, So, with the free account, the space is up, but I am not if the number of photos shown is up as well. I don't know if they changed that part, - but previously, the free account was limiting the number of photos that are shown (100 or so most recent ones). You can find more useful detail

I'm with you on this one, Larry. I think that current UI is easier and it seems the whole thing is significantly faster. I've paid for pro account in April... I wonder if I can get Flickr to return me the money and revert to free account. Probably not. But as such, it still gives me some benef
