It's happened. We've been changed over to the new Flickr photo layout, and I hate it. THERE ARE NO NOTES! How is this affecting you guys? Once again, THERE ARE NO NOTES!

Yeah its driving me crazy. I swear Flickr is actively trying to suck. I have a relative that works high up in their marketing department and I told him how the changes were affecting our community and he was stunned at the negative reaction lol. I think they are pretty clueless.

I didn't want to say anything.......but yes, I completely agree!! I logged in today and its now permanent black, weird layout, comments backwards, no notes, everything is terrible. To bad for us I guess! At first I thought it was just mine, but I guess its other too? I still wish we could go back to the original layout, it was nice clean crisp and user friendly. David - How on earth could they not know about negative reaction? What about the entire Flickr black day? There were thousands of those photos uploaded! It would seem pretty obvious to me that there has been a negative reaction to the new layout. Guess we'll have to live with it, unless anyone wants to protest? Sir Valiant~

I have somehow managed to escape this tyranny... when I go on it keeps the old one. I saw the preview a few months ago and I was like.....meh Maybe we should all message the staff to say we don't like it. By no notes do you mean no descriptions for the photo? Agh! My LCC stories!

No, by NOTES they mean making an actual comment on the picture itself, to say something like, "Oh I really like the texture you created here on these castle walls."

POSTING PHOTOS IN Merlin's Beard USING NEW LOUSY FLICKR LAYOUT:Important tip here fellow builders, you MUST now remove the "s" behind https: when posting using the image button above. Example:
With the new "improved" Beta FLICKR is now using, when selecting the "Share this photo" button, and clicking on HTML, this is the result: https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8082/8436779684_ba7236e377.jpg
This will not work on MB, so delete the "s": http:// farm8.staticflickr.com/7085/13412901674_746cb736e5.jpg
Then it should work like this:

This is a downright shame. I am so over FLICKR. How can they possibly think these changes were an improvement? They are horrible!

Interesting discussion guys. I will not leave it, and am currently logged on in Spanish to keep the old layout, but I hate this new one. Thanks, Gary, for the photo help. Is there any way we could make a petition? I'm sure many would sign it! BrickThinker and I have been talking about it.

I would gladly sign the petition. We could spread it around to have lots of people to do it.

To add to my last comment (which doesn't seem to have posted), I already have a GoDaddy domain name and I have some web design software on my computer. The only thing I would need, is for someone to help me with the scripting and coding.
As for a name, I was thinking of "BrickPics".
What do you all think?

Hey all,
One solution that works (for the moment) is to change your language preference. Right-click your avatar in the upper right-hand corner of your home screen, as if you were checking your FlickrMail or something. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and there are language choices. I chose French, which looks largely the way it did last week. If you are using Chrome as a browser you can even then set your browser to automatically translate everything back to English (probably other browsers do this as well, Chrome is just the one I'm using). It's not perfect - it doesn't look like notes are working for me - but it's better.

It's not to bad actually, but I'll try and use your tips to change it back to English.
