Why 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.

And Internet forum votes aren't personal. Karma doesn't matter. We downvote bad information, period.
On Reddit, sure. HN, like StackOverflow, uses it to decide what level of participation you're allowed to have.

Completely agree. This is similar to shared host that offer unlimited space. For those using a lot of share/cpu, they'll get a friendly reminder to upgrade, then a notice that they can't continue supporting them as a client with their current plan. The Flickr Pro account 24.95/yr for "unlimited storage" was an easy purchase. When you login with your Pro account you are suggested to downgrade to the new 1TB (ad) accou…
As a current Pro user, $25 per year to continue unlimited storage, no ads (for me and for all viewing my photos) and photo statistics is still an easy sell. However, if I were signing up for an account today, I would most likely not purchase a paid account - my main reason for paying for an account was to get past the "only your last 200 photos are visible" limitation. That said, if I actually used my flickr account…
While 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…
Pay for Getty if you don't like it.

Suddenly, results! There's no way it could have been anything other than her personal initiative that got flickr turned around.
I hate this new layout. Artistic images need space, especially images that aren't meant to be place together. Otherwise their color would collide with each other and ruin the visual experience for them. If flickr wants to become a social network that features family photos maybe that's the right layout, but I think most of the pro users weren't paying $25 a year for that purpose. Flickr is no longer a valid place to…

From what I'm reading, existing Pro users will be grandfathered and have the ability to continue with their existing subscription.
I am a pro user, but I don't have a recurring subscription, I just rebuy it every 2 years, now I'm going to have to pay double for no ads, seems like I got screwed most of all.

Where would the average person find some place with higher bandwidth than their residential cable connection?
Not being able to upload 10GB in months is a pretty slow residential cable connection. So presumably find somewhere with a faster one (like an internet cafe, library, etc). It shouldn't be hard to find a place with a free connection that'll let you send 0.5MB/sec, which means you can clear 10GB in about 5.5 hours (if my quick math is right) - not a terribly long time. Of course, in most urban areas, at least in the U…
1TB 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…
