US Flickr
Dear Flickr members,
We recently launched a new photo page towards the end of June. Because of the feedback from you, we’re moving the photo page in a direction that more closely resembles previous iterations of the product, but with contemporary design and the new framework that delivers photos so much faster than before.
These are the advantages of the new photo page:
*Moved the photo information back, so now it appears below the photo.
*The comments have been moved back below the photo as well.
*The text is now black on a white background.
If you have any feedback regarding the new photo page, positive or negative, please feel free to submit it using a new thread.
Please be aware that we are actively listening to feedback from our users to improve Flickr and your user experience.

Flickr auto-generates inappropriate (and invisible) tags for new photos
Hello,
I have just discovered that Flickr automatically generates tags when I upload a new photo - presumably based on some image recognition software - which are not visible to me, and which at least sometimes are inaccurate or even inappropriate.
I just did a test: uploaded a studio photo of my 10-years old daughter (dressed in a kids dress), with no tags, title or description. Within 10 minutes the photo was viewed more than 10 times. As I am a Flickr Pro user, I could see the detailed stats. What I discovered was that the photo was found 5…
21st rankedThanks for your feedback on this important issue. We agree that Flickr members should have more control over autotags, and we’ll add this soon. Also, until we can handle cases like this better, autotags like “bikini” and “swimsuit” are not appropriate, so they have been removed.

Organize your favorites into subsets
Having the ability to organize your favorites into subsets would be something I'd like to see.

Do you seriously show ads as part of people's photo slideshows?? Whose idiot idea was that? Can't you at least have ads off to the side?????

Stop Flickr loading like its on dial up..
Find someone to re-develop the site so it won't feel like a dial up connection..
I've noticed a huge change in loading speeds since the Yahoo takeover happened...
Since being frustrated with the speed I've had a look at other sites and they seem to load much faster.. Ergo.. Design/Coding needs change.
Inserting "Fetching more images" is not helping the speed..
It is a reminder that the developer had no other ideas.

Create a ratings system, where viewers can rate photos on various features such as composition, lighting, etc.
If Flickr were to have a ratings system that users could enable on individual photos, if desired, this would give an opportunity for viewers to provide feedback on various elements of the photo, such as framing, use of depth of field, emotional impact, etc. This would provide photographers with important feedback that would help improve their skills.

Provide a provision for blocking users posting images, in the comments section.
An optional feature, through preferences!
Some users are happy with others posting images (including group, or personal) in the comments section, but personally, I'm not.
So please give us the option.147th ranked -
Please update Flickr app for Windows Phone - it's very obsolette.
Please don't ignore Windows Phone - with new update it will get a lot of new users.

Sharing Collections (and not just albums)
It would be great if we could share Collections with non-Flickr users instead of sharing each albums that we add in those Collections.

Flickr is making a huge mistake
I noticed that Flickr is now requesting photo viewers to join Yahoo and provide personal information. The friends I have talked to say they just want to see the photos, not join Yahoo or fill in personal information. It appears now I have to find another photo site where my viewers don't have to join Yahoo just to view the photos. People just want to go to a site to see photos, that's all. Not start a new account. I'm really sorry to see you have taken this new strategy. I'll be moving on to something else.

Why the low photo resolution on the photo page?
What's with the super low resolution on the photo page? It's horrible! It looks like my photo's are from 1979! There's no way to see a larger view of the photo's! The photo's on photostream's are sharp and crisp while the enlarged photo on the Photo Page is very low resolution and looks out of focus. WHY?

Disapointed
I am disapointed in the most recent "improvments" to Flickr. The decreased functionality and sharing abilities make me want to delete my account and move elsewhere with my photos.

Yeah. Fire everybody.
In spite of a near universally negative reaction to your infinite scrolling search page debacle your staff has consistently responded to complaints with the same indifferent platitudes and draconian decrees coming just short of telling us to get used to it or sod off. If I dealt with a client in this manner somebody else would be cleaning out my desk because I'd already be out on the sidewalk. Everybody involved in this issue has hurt your reputation and damaged your credibility, from the developers who dreamt it up on down through the execs who approved it, the engineers who…

additional stats for tracking linking.
I used to use a browser plugin to access the additional stats for photostream views and references etc.
However this has stopped working, and these stats were very inciteful in tracking interest in my photo stream... And where views were comming from.
Would it be possible to bring in the ability to see references to photostreams and perhapse also fix the google search references as they no longercshow what was searched for.
