"been
here since 2005 and seen plenty changes, not sure what I think of the tablet
friendly approach... it'll take some getting used to. though the old format looked very dated it did have the appeal of looking a little like a gallery, where the photos had room to breath. this design is I think a little too unoriginal. I understand the need to compete and I also recognise the design is contemporary to other apps and sites. But I think the team have misunderstood the nature of Flickr, in the same way the team misunderstood the way to manage the community when Yahoo first took over. I'm sure this design will. in the long run, appeal to new users and of course that is exactly what any business needs. Having said that Yahoo, it's worth remembering that the core base feel like Flickr is theirs, not yours. We are the community. And Flickr could be a major player in not only photography but social networking areas because of that sense of ownership." I do not know the speed of my internet but I have no problem of loading, but there a so many with slow connections who find it difficult or impossible to load their pages. |

"It's
so slow the new site. Granted my internet is pretty slow. But the previous
iteration was perfectly usable, now with all this huge images clustered about
the page I have to sit watching nothing for a time before I can even see one
persons image. It's frankly unusable now. It's sad because I have been using
the site since 2007 and I have been a pro user for the most part. In the last
year I let my subscription run out and didn't renew because the site seems to
be less active and Yahoo you just haven't innovated. In fact you haven't
innovated ever. You caught the rush first and have been riding your fortunes
ever since. There are a list of simple improvements you could make in order
to bolster the functionality of the website. Improvements that you have ignored
for the last 6 years, which is frankly astounding. I don't know what team you
have working on the site, or who directs them, but it's stoneage stuff. So
disappointed. "Often when there have been changes, people have threatened to leave, and a few years later they are still here, but many are really leaving to other sites. I have actually joined Ipernity, but I am not going to send all my photos there, I am still trying to work here because of my groups, which I cannot send to Ipernity. The site even developed an implement which moves all of a person's photos to the site. ucumari says: "IPERNITY! Very cool site, I'm just learning it but very happy to be there. Will probably be leaving this one very soon I am sorry to say. But when no one cares it does make it easier" I care but what can I do! |
This tree is as desolate as I feel at the moment.
It does not feel good to know that all these close to 16 thousand posts that are mostly negative, will have no effect, we have already been told that nothing will be changed back. They allow this thread so people could come and complain, pour out their heart, hoping people gradually get tired and accept it all.
My heart aches when I have this memory of the former first page, with either larger or smaller photos, showing the last uploads, you could already see several details. It looked so ordered, so tidy.
There we re always some people who wished for a justified view on the photostream but I really thought that would not be possible. Now we can see how bad the idea was.
By the way, to get to the HF, just click on a photo to get to the photo and stop the flow, then you can easily scroll down.
They had put up huge posters on the Times Square to show people's new photostreams, of course they dont want egg on their faces going back from that.

Usually that would be the case, however, they haven't replaced the old code. All they have done is added a slower, clunkier, more wasteful 'skin' to parts of the site. Worse still, they've added it to the users landing page. I thought the idea was to make the landing pages the quickest, then let the users opt for slower pages if desired?
No new value added, no new features added, just a prettier (arguable), slower, less functional façade!”
