Re: Flickr gets new UI, new Android app, 1 TB free space
#102Amusingly, in the Yahoo/Tumblr acquisition thread, I complained about how little Yahoo has improved on Flickr...but otherwise, I was a happy paying customer. Currently, I pay $25 for a year's worth of unlimited photo storage and being ad-free. With this new plan, I have to pay twice as much for what I have now...because even as a 3+ year (almost 4 now) member, I haven't uploaded enough to fill a terabyte. Kind of a b…
From what I'm reading, existing Pro users will be grandfathered and have the ability to continue with their existing subscription.

#1031TB isn't that impressive when you have to deal with a 300MB/month upload rate limit: http://www.flickr.com/help/limits/ It'd take 291 years to fill up the 1TB allowance: https://www.google.com/search?q=1TB+%2F+(300+MB%2Fmonth) (Also looks like there's a missing on that limits page, there.) Edit: Looks like the page is being edited right this moment - the page used to list the 300MB/month limit but was also mentionin…

+ $49.99 per year
+ All the benefits of a free account

Doublr-Plan(extra 1 TB space):

#105I don't think I could ever come close to even 10GB with my residential cable connection. It would take months to upload that much.

#106Now I can access my high res photos again. I don't know if I can trust them after the shit they pulled. When I signed up : "You will never lose access to your high res photos". A few years ago : "Sign up for pro if you want access to high res photos". Is this a sign that Yahoo isn't going to keep fucking things up?
Mayer is a pro. She understands user experience. And Yahoo has a solid pile of cash, so they can clearly afford to spend some of it wooing users and repairing their image. Whether Yahoo can ultimately be rehabilitated remains to be seen regardless.

#107The default privacy permissions are a bit loose for my taste, but I'm not big into sharing photos except with my direct family. Can anybody compare them with facebook's or picasa / google+'s default privacy settings ? Edit: I've made a bunch of comments as replies to this one. My conclusion is that New Flickr's privacy-friendliness is just barely above Facebook's. However, they haven't yet demonstrated _continuing_ w…
It looks like the android app uses a custom browser to render the third-party login pages, putting them in a position to trivially grab your password.
I can't think of a reason to have done this. Sure, I would have liked for the "log in with Google" button to pop up the system account chooser, but at the very least, just fire off an intent and let the user's browser of choice take care of it.

As a Flickr Pro user, this upsets me. 300MB is like what, 20-odd full-sized JPEGs? A month? With no way to lift that limit even if paying? Ugh.
I wish people wouldn't downvote others for simply reporting on what they see. It's not your fault Fickr is live editing their page.

#109I'm down right angry. I loved the old flickr interface. It was simple and usable. Now it looks like a less functional google+. Flickr's job is NOT to be a fancy photo viewer, it's supposed to be a photo organizer. Looks like yahoo just screwed up the last good thing they had. This will be my last year with this service (I've been a member since 2004 and have had a pro account for several years now).
What did you think two years ago when the old interface you lament was new?
It stayed with the overall color scheme and felt like a progressive update. This is far more intense and dramatic.

#110enough for a lifetime...as long as it's up.
