Re: Flickr gets new UI, new Android app, 1 TB free space
#272While I do welcome it... Design wasn't Flickr's problem, it's the piss poor search engine and it's people uploading millions of their blurry family photos and clogging up the search results with garbage. Flickr needs to decide what it wants to be, an image hosting site or a photography community. One will kill the other so stop trying to be both. I routinely hunt for creative commons / copyrighted images for ads and…
Have you had any more luck with 500px?
Re: Flickr gets new UI, new Android app, 1 TB free space
#273I'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).
Personally, I'd like Flickr to be both a photo viewer and organizer. I don't feel like the new interface is any worse for organizing photos, and I'm much more likely to point people to a flickr set with the new layout. Your opinion seems very much in-line with the hugely negative reaction thread on flickr[1]. I'd be interested in the specific functionality you lost in the update that you miss.

Front page looks too busy at 1280 px wide. I can't quantify why - maybe it looks too appy rather than like a page. I used to rant a lot about Flickr showing me 500 px wide photos with oceans of whitespace on my large screens - now it looks like they've gone overboard in the other direction...
Photos in different styles don't look great mashed up right next to each other on my photostream. Old design had an option to show them big as one column, or smaller with more whitespace around them.
The default photo height on my photostream is also lower than on the old big one column setting, which makes particularly my vertical photos look worse when you're scrolling by.

#274IMHO their UI further validates the Facebook commenting style unfortunately. I've always felt the tree based conversations design is a much easier way to follow various side conversations that spring up. But anyway, its blah, its bling, its boring. Can't help but to notice similarities to other sites in their design, but I guess thats the way the web works.

#275Why does Marissa Mayor get all the credit? Was the redesign her idea? Was it headed by her? etc.
Of course she posted it, because she has a super-positive personal brand/image in popular media. Just curious how much of this is her.

#2761TB 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…
Check again, the mention of 300MB/month is gone. Looks like old copy cache.
Just tried to use their uploader and hit the limit when I got to 300MB.

Never knew Google Calculator could be used like that. Thanks.
Beware, it has a subtle catch:
(1 TB) / (300 (MB / month)) = 291.271111 years
1000 / (0.3 / month) = 277.777778 years

#278Earlier quoted context omitted.
I initially liked the new photostream layout, but after using the site for a little while, I think I prefer the old layout. The new site definitely looks more modern and glossy, but there's a reason museums don't display photos in a huge mosaic -- it makes it very hard to focus on and consider one image at a time. Now to browse someone's photos I need to go into the "one image at a time" viewer, which takes longer an…
I'm not quite sure how I got to it, but go to user's stream and then tack on a ?details=1 to the end of the URL. I have no idea if that's an intentionally preserved view or not, but it's more like you're looking for.
The details=1 query string is added when you click "Edit" in your own photostream's header.
Funnily enough, at the moment the details=1 layout even preserves the old "Did you know you can change the layout of this page?" link at the bottom, linking to a 404.

#279The loss of photo statistics seems a big one. As far as I can see unless you have an existing pro account and continue to renew, there is no way to get photo statistics. I really think Yahoo should offer a 'spyr' account or something which gives access to the stats.

Funny when I read this, I thought of Jobs.
