Flickr Problems

[boojum]

Am I the only person with a bad panda? Have other folks run into problems accessing Flickr? I get a warning from my web-browser that the site is not secure. After a while I sometimes get the "Bad Panda" screen but still cannot access the service. Eventually I get access.

So, anyone else with a bad panda?

Yup, for about half an hour now.

Generally rare these days for me. Sounds like they were having problems around the time you two posted...

It has happened regularly for me. At least once a day.

It goes through cycles. Sometimes it is constant for a few days, then it settles down and works then it happens again. Not sure what's up. As of the day of writing this, it has been happening on and off all day.

Yes, my experience, too. What kind of an operation have they become when they cannot stay on the air? This is real amateur level performance. Now there is nothing I can do about this other than whine. They should have more emphasis on the subscribers and less on the stockholders. And I will just whine some more. ;o)

I noticed a difference of tonality of the pictures on Flickr, sometimes they are (too) dark and later they are (too) light. Very annoying, but that's all that happens here.

I had the panda off and on Friday on my browser, but strangely was able to access it during those times through both the android and iPad apps.

Well, it is a relief to find that I may not be demented. Or, maybe all of us are demented, but I think not. They must have some new MBA-generated business model. "Raising the rates to give you the service you deserve." This is the kind of service we get for the cow in the spring.

Been down for me a couple times in the last week.

Nothing but Bad Panda shots on my big PC yesterday evening. However, I could view but not post from my iPhone.

All seems to be back to normal today.

It is no doubt back up and working properly because we discussed this. Synchronicity rules!

Seems to be back today, hopefully its just a server update/transition

It's back up and running now but yesterday was bad. And even worse a few weeks prior when one couldn't even upload images. I thought I'd bookmark this thread because these issues are becoming more and more common.

Who owns them now? I know they changed ownership a few times, the last I remember they were associated with 500px?

 

[boojum]

Yes, up and running. Better response time, photos load quicker. It is like they added memory to a PC. But that is just a "me" level comparison. I am glad it is back to normal today. Their techies must have been working their butts off to get this thing fixed.

Not had 'Bad Panda' for months, but just leave it and an hour later it will be solved.

Timing is everything.
