Anyone notice that Flickr is working poorly?

[pesphoto]

I'm getting regular pop-ups saying I am close to the 1000 limit (I am) and it gives two options, "Go Pro" and "Remind Me Later", no "X" in the corner to dismiss or "No Thanks" or anything like that.

I weeded out my stream to give me room under the 1000 for more.
I keep getting that popup also, and imagine they are going to make not paying for PRO as annoying as possible to force us to pay or quit entirely.

The iPhone Flickr app is solid, if a little feature deprived.
No panda errors before or after the Flickr company.

I haven't been affected by any of the outages, but the basic design of this iteration of Flickr irritates me. When I pick a photo to examine, I have to click it again to get the full description (or caption). That's not the way I like to view, but I could live with that. What irritates me highly is when I back out of that picture to resume scanning my feed, it dumps me all the way back to the top, so I have to pass thru all the shots I already went through. I really don't like that architecture.

It's an awful architecture, and there are many bugs in the browser versions. A workaround for this one is to open the image in a new browser window.

For example, right now I see the activity stream has been down for at least two hours (last posts it shows are two hours ago), so I can't post anything today because none of my followers will see it.

The last time they resumed after this problem they didn't show the missing photos later either, they just totally skipped them.

Imagine the Instagram feed being down on a Saturday - it wouldn't happen. So maybe I'll be forced to join the Facebook universe by this kind of thing. I really don't want to, but a number of great photographers I follow have recently disappeared from Flickr.

I had not looked at this thread until today. I had seen the bad panda screens when this thread popped up, so I thought that was all it was about, and occasional new weirdness for loading pages.
But, today I was browsing looking at photos from different lenses, and made a comment on one image. Instead of my anonymous screen name being used, it popped up under my actual name, which is first, and should not have happened. At least it was a complimentary comment. Tried it a few other places, and same thing. All the places site wide where it should have been my screen name it was my actual name instead. When I looked at the settings for my account, it was all correct, so the account settings are correct, but the behavior is wrong.
It doesn’t bother me that much, and I did email them about it, but there are definitely some ongoing glitches there, more than just failure to load pages, or to go back to the prior page when you want to.

What Larry says happened to me as well. I thought it was my mistake, but it seems it wasn't. It something to be verified.

I guess they are full in the process of killing themselves slowly, err sorry... I mean "forcing the photo limit" upon everyone to make flickr more attractive to "real photographers"...

Working fine for me in the UK.
I`m impressed with their quick feed back to customer problems on Twitter.

Okay, now that Flickr has made my contact information public today, I just got, for the first time in the 12 or so years I have been registered there, this in my private email:

[Flickr] You've been invited to join Sex Sluts!

They didn’t say if there was any kind of initiation, or I could just join them.

When I am logged into Flickr I see my full name.
When I am not, I see my screen name.


Flickr password database was hacked in the past two years - have you changed your password?

Flickr spam accounts come and go with invitations to join pr0n groups or they fav-spam thousands of unrelated images in a short period.
A purported purpose of these fake accounts is to establish a pseudo realistic internet trail for later use in phishing trips.

I'm pretty sure the Sex Sluts will require some sort of monetary transaction Larry

Not that I have any personal experience w/ that sort of thing. I probably just read about it somewhere. Or something.

I never entered my real name in Flickr. Nevertheless, I received an invitation to join the Find Sex Models group. Not sure if that's better or worse than Larry's Sex Slut invitation.

I am getting this kind of shyte too.

I'm getting the same sort of thing - a couple of invites from similar 'groups' over the past few days.

When I click the 'No Thanks / decline' button, nothing happens!

Better, worse, hard to say. Maybe the actual sex sluts are reserved for people on Social Security, and younger people only get models. Graduated depending on one’s perceived needs.

Finally got the "indecent proposal" to the email that I registered my flickr account with.

I was beginning to worry that the new owners forgot to sell my personal data...

(of course, it might be just the usual case of incompetence)

Was it worth waiting for?

On a separate note, people I know who've never had a Flickr account have received messages purporting to be from Flickr advising them to upgrade to 'Pro' status.....

Working fine here in Asia. The webmasters must be busy weeding out the +1000 pics cheap skates elsewhere.
