  1. Today-change in the front page layout.

    5-7-2015 I'm tired of the sudden and abrupt changes on Flickr...

    The header photo is too large-takes up almost 1/3rd of the page along with the menu bar!

    Too much white on the edges now with hardly any space between the photos.

    Did people actually request the changes listed above?

    Also, if you're going to have a list above the photos that include "camera roll," "albums," "creations," etc., please PLEASE include "collections."

    Thanks,

    Dave in Maine

    • Auto-tagging needs opt-out

      Auto-tagging needs to have an opt-out option. and auto-tagging should only be added to newly uploaded images. Many images are being totally inappropriately tagged, and trawling through hundreds or thousands of old images to remove inappropriate tags in very undesirable.

        • Publish your policy on banning accounts from Explore (watermarks, etc).

          It has been noticed during the past few months than most images with watermarks and photoborders get removed from Explore each weekday. More recently it was also noted that several accounts, which have had images removed from Explore, no longer get featured in Explore.

          In response to a previous Explore issue Flickr staff said this:

          “Product Support(Admin, Yahoo) responded:
          Hi Adrena,
          Thanks for reporting this.
          We have determined this is not a bug, and we do indeed include everybody’s photos in Explore.

          Regards,
          Product Support”

          The emphasis here is “we do indeed include everybody’s photos in Explore”. This sentiment…

          • Stop changing the website!

            It is a pain ********** that Flickr keeps changing the look of the website constantly! Users are left to their own devices in trying to figure out the new look and how to accomplish anything on the website.

            • white space

              Get rid of the white space on the sides, the pictures are crammed into the middle and it looks awful! What is the idea behind this? The pictures themselves should be presented as to take up most of the screen without distraction.....

                • auto tags

                  Auto tags are really not helpful. What is the point of adding "outdoors" to nearly all of my pictures, and "sky" to nearly half of them. I now have aircraft tagged as "bird" and an airship as "street sign".

                  I have over 10,000 pictures to trawl through now...

                    • Put the Home Page back the way it was

                      You morons have really screwed it up...everything has to change for change's sake....idiots. I want the Explore and Group listings back on the right side of the screen...not buried. You are really hurting the community. Without the explore thumbnails, how are you going to get members to look at other members photos. Plus when I want to see how a search linked someone to my photo, I want to see where I place in the tagged or keyword search. I hate Flickr

                      • The Uploadr never finish uploading

                        It never finishes uploading. When the number of remaining photos count down to zero it started all over again! Sometimes an album already contain all the photos after manual check, but the Uploadr still insists uploading.

                          • There should be an option to remove from auto-start

                            I don't like that the program automatically starts without a user option for removing it. I know there are ways to do it through windows, but I'd rather the program behaves on its own.

                              Let have a Flickr that we can actually see pictures on and that don't turn to a black screen... Instead on constantly trying to make it "look better" how about concentrating on stability. It can be as pretty as you want but if it doesn't actually work what is the point?

                                    • Support ALL Browsers.

                                      I can no longer view anything on Flickr due to having an older browser, I am not in a position to upgrade my computer to a newer model that would be required to run the browsers supported by Flickr, I am sure that I am not alone in this. You Tube, and other parts of the Yahoo! family can support older browsers so why can't Flickr.

                                      • Allow me to upload individual photos from Mac Uploadr

                                        The old Uploadr used to let me upload individual photos. I want to curate my flickr photos not vomit every photo I've ever taken online.

                                        • Seriously, I can't access flicker unless I use an approved browser?

                                          Opera has been around a long time and comforms to internet standards. I caanot understand what your issue is with non aapproved browsers.
