The Origami Forum

Flickr.com, which hosts the majority of our photo collections, has been redesigned, as most of you are aware. If not, here's the deal-

-One terabyte of space, which is enough for 200,000 5-megabyte (fairly hi-res) photos.
-Ads, somewhere?
-A paid Pro account is still the only way to view Stats, and removes ads.
-Videos are still max 90 seconds, which is still lame.
-Interface is weird but I'm sure we'll get used to it.
-Titles and descriptions are harder to see.

I don't know about other people but I don't like this new layout, looks difficult to use.

I think it will take some getting used to, but I'm pretty happy with the new look of the photostream.
It displays a lot more images without having to click "Next Page".

I hate it. It's too big and in my face. I like small thumbnails and whitespace. The old version displayed something like 15 thumbnails on the first screen, I could easily glance and see what was new from my contacts and groups. Now I see one photo taking up the entire screen, scroll down a full screen and have seen 2, etc.

It deliberately hides the picture descriptions, and seems to assume I'll always have my browser maximized.

I rather liked it when it was a photo sharing community website, I don't like it as a photo viewing app.

2 words: It sucks.

Hate when sites do this They try to make things look nice, but they mess up the things. They can add what ever they want but why mess whit the visual side of the thing.

I haven't checked out the website yet, but the flickr app on my mobile is greatly improved. It will take some getting used to but I won't need my laptop anymore. Now I can watch groups aswell. Although I do think that the app will eat mb

i don't like this kind of improvement. as i use to work with a stoneage-system i can't see my photostream anymore - it's just loading and loading and ...

I agree completely. If it ran faster, that is one thing, but it is even slower! What a waste of time and effort on their part. They should've just given us more free space.

Great words of wisdom: if it isn't broken, don't fix it. they went and "fixed" something perfectly fine, and ruined it. the app is better,though.

Ahaha kyle, great comment. IMO, it takes WAY too long to comment on a picture and it takes forever to look at someone's photostream. I dont really like it..

It sucks big time. I miss my hello message as well
Most people on the Flickr Forum are burning it down as well.

Someone on the help forum mentioned that the new and "improved" flickr is only usabele on a tablet, but let me tell you-it sucks on a tablet as well!

Good to see that a lot of ppl thinking is is a pile @%$#! . Hope the Flickr team revert this change and learn their lesson.

I think it's not too bad but the recent activity/uploads feed is a pile of rubbish, but since they got rid of the 200 photos limit I'll live with it. I use an app called flickstackr anyway which works well, I don't use Flickr on the computer that often...

After my earlier positive respons to the new layout of the smartphone app, I must say the app crashes... alot.
