********************************************************************** ************

This is a symbolic mark of protest against the new Beta change which Flickr proposes to force upon all users ..

If you wish to make protest, then please only upload a " Black " picture on the 8th December

*** This is available for download should you wish.

With the new platform Beta Team Flickr intend to make further changes that will limit severely the exchanges between users:

1 - There will be no white space below the photo for description, comments or invitations to groups

2 - Difficult to write a comment that contains more than 3 words

3 - We can not see who supports our pics

4 - We can not see in which groups the photo appears

5 - The images of the award will not be visible

6 - The visits will no longer be visible. The latter will only appear in Recent Activity, others will be lost.

7 - For Admin it will become impossible to manage groups so many will close.

8 - Our descriptions, including quotes, links to YouTube or other sites will be hidden

( translated from Italian )

Changes should not delete/destroy/ruin the very factors which caused us to join flickr in the first place..

etc.

(quoted from another user-but lots of info can be found if you search Flickr Black Day)
