Many thanks to my dear friend Fifichat (Francoise)- here you will find many informations in FRENCH and ENGLISH:

Quotation Francoise:"*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations / flickr Award Counter
Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments
White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes
No sense. Hard to write comments exceeding 2 or 3 words
We can't see who faved our pictures
We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8 )
Awards images. are not shown in comments
Admin-Invitations are not displayed ( the last ones are visible ONLY in "Recent Activity").The oldest are lost
For admins , group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible
Some groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures
They allow us to admire beautiful works and to meet with great photographers"
Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden
NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE
In fact this layout specifically targets tablets and smartphones
Unfortunately everything we can do seems absolutely useless ....
Yahoo and Flickr don't care
Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for people (mainly teens and young ) using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol
Motivated photographers still using computers (with photo-softwares) and large screens are no longer desirable customers....
( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity" Page....The oldest are lost ....and everything is done to impede their functioning)
Advertising is much much more lucrative than our Pro accounts .......
How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?
Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them
Users of any other language have not been informed.... amazing No ??"
All this is very discouraging " ****End quotation Francoise***
I use frequently the English version and realized (or I'm blind) that there is NO word, discussion or forum about the upcoming change in German.
Therefore a translation in German about the upcoming changes.
DEUTSCH:
Liebe Flickr Freunde,
Seit vielen Wochen verfolgen wir die Informationen und Links von Freunden, die der neuen, bald kommenden Beta-Version als 'Tester" "ausgeliefert" waren oder Diskussionen in den Englischen Foren.
Wie ich eben festgestellt habe, findet sich keinerlei Hinweis, Erklärung oder Diskussion auf der deutschen Flickr-Version.
Aufgrund einiger Anfragen unter dem Deutschen "Black Day" - Foto deshalb hier einige Erklärungen in Deutsch für diejenigen, die die geplante auf uns zukommende Beta-Version nicht kennen.
Zunächst die Screenshots von Anuij Nair mit entsprechenden Erkärungen:

Es macht überhaupt keinen Sinn, die Augen davor zu verschliessen, dass mit der
geplanten Beta Version einschneidende Einschänkungen auf uns zukommen.
Wir hoffen, durch Protest mit "Flickr's schwarzem Tag" doch noch etwas erreichen zu können.
Bitte, ladet Euch das Foto oben auf Eure "eigenen Fotos" hoch und postet es entweder morgen als Information UND in jedem Fall am Sonntag auf Euerm Fotostream, ohne weitere Fotos an diesem Tag hochzuladen.
Die Einschränkungen sind gravierend:
Es wird keinen weißen Raum mehr unter unseren Fotos geben, der Platz für
einen Titel, eine Beschreibung des Fotos oder einen Link (Youtube etc.-Musik) zulassen wird.
Es wird nur einen schmalen shwarzen Streifen mit weissen Buchstaben neben dem Bild geben,
der den Augen wehtut. Darauf sind ALLE Möglichkeiten, zu interagieren zusammengepfercht.
Ein Kommentar wird sich auf 2-3 Worte begnügen müssen.
Maximal 4 Kommentare werden sichtbar sein,
Wir werden nicht sehen können, wer unser Foto gefavt hat.
Nur 8 von den Gruppen, in denen unsere Fotos zu sehen sind,
werden sichtbar sein.
Admin-Einladungen zu Gruppen werden nicht mehr sichtbar sein,
wir müssen sie unter "letzte Aktivität" suchen.
Sie werden nach einiger Zeit nicht mehr zu sehen sein.
Schlimm sowohl für Mitglieder als auch Moderatoren von Gruppen.
Es macht die Arbeit schier unmöglich.
Das Gruppenlogo wird nicht mehr zu sehen sein, lediglich det Text.
(auch bei Award Codes).
"Es scheint offensichtlich, dass Yahoo Flickr in ein anderes soziales Netzwerk für Tablets- and Smartphones-Nutzer
umwandeln möchte, die "Hi" oder "LOL" als Kommentar benutzen und von Foto zu Foto eilen.
Werbung ist wichtiger geworden." Zitat Forum.
It is almost time for Smugmug to close down Flickr for maintenance so that they can perform the mammoth task of transferring every single thing on Flickr to a new server. Hard to imagine, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the transfer all goes smoothly. There will probably be a few glitches to iron out afterwards, but these will no doubt eventually be fixed.
The day before yesterday, 19 May 2019, I was out for the day with my daughter, to celebrate Mother's Day and yet another birthday for me. I always look forward to a day like this - my favourite way to spend a day! I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and windy, especially when we went to Frank Lake after spending time at the Saskatoon Farm. We both still managed to get a few photos and, today, the colourful ones are most welcome, as we have yet another gloomy day. I think it must have rained again last night, as I can see there are puddles out there.
Our day started with a delicious breakfast at the Farm, after which we walked around the grounds. I always enjoy seeing the farm cats and dogs wandering about, inside and outside. Visitors are not allowed to bring dogs, which means that the farm animals can roam in peace.
The gardens have not yet been planted with flowers - just as well, as I noticed that there was a risk of frost on two recent nights. There are flowers blooming in the greenhouses, though.
Our next destination was Frank Lake, where we hoped to see at least a few birds. It was very quiet, with little to photograph - not the best time of the day. Two Eared Grebes were swimming near the blind, but what a challenge they were! Non stop swimming and constantly changing direction, fast. I think I ended up with a couple of photos that might be sharp enough to post - the rest have been deleted. A Yellow-headed Blackbird, perched on a cattail, was swaying in and out of the viewfinder.
It felt really good to get out, as I have been spending so much time going through all the images from our trip to South Texas. It did feel a little strange to be driving, as I have barely been out the last few weeks.
Enjoy a fun trip through shapes and and bends. Share your shot with us and get the chance to be featured on FlickrBlog next week.
Nur noch ein paar Tage bis zum nächsten Flickr-Treffen in Leipzig! Ich freu mich! Jetzt gelten die nächsten Tage der Kamera-Vorbereitung und der Entscheidung übers Equipment.
A few days left until the next Flickr meet up in Leipzig. I´m really looking forward to meet all these crazy lovely people! Now it is about preparing the camera and make some decisions about what equipment to take on this trip.

*************************************************************
Day 99/365 - Didn't have much time today I was gone all day. I had some left over Gerbera daisies from the shoot with Jamie and Kayla so I thought I would take advantage of that.
A small selection from the pictures taken during this afternoon's Cornwall Flickr Users Group outing to St Ives.
No uploads
No comments
No favourites
No clicks
No activity
So many clicks to find what you want, black side bar crammed with 'stuff', group discussions 'hidden' and a lot of social interaction missing.
Not sure this protest will have any more influence on things than the previous ones but got to give it a try.
"The race was on to find other areas of search where we could build a commanding lead," says one high ranking Yahoo executive familiar with the deal.
Flickr offered a way to do that. Because Flickr photos were tagged and labeled and categorized so efficiently by users, they were highly searchable.
"That is the reason we bought Flickr—not the community. We didn't give a shit about that. The theory behind buying Flickr was not to increase social connections, it was to monetize the image index. It was totally not about social communities or social networking. It was certainly nothing to do with the users."
And that was the problem. At the time, the Web was rapidly becoming more social, and Flickr was at the forefront of that movement. It was all about groups and comments and identifying people as contacts, friends or family. To Yahoo, it was just a fucking database.
"I spent years at Yahoo trying to signal the alarm that Facebook was going to take over the adult market unless we stepped in and used our existing social networks to fight back," laments one former Yahoo engineer who worked on products at both the parent company and Flickr. "Obviously this never went anywhere for a multitude of reasons."
If the Internet really were a series of tubes, Yahoo would be the leaking sewage pipe, covering everything it comes in contact with in watered-down shit.

And it's now happening all over again, as the yesterday's massive flickrape of paying customers,
and this discussion, conceived in its wake clearly shows...
Even the newspapers have raised their brows to the enormous backlash from Flickr users.
Visualization of Flickr geotagged photos, uploaded between 2007 to 2015 and geotagged with the highest accuracy (street-level). I generated a number of different visualizations.
Here is an animated version of this map
Created as part of my research project (maps.alexanderdunkel.com).
Everyone's gotta have a flickr tribute and here's mine.
I did this in the dark with a glowstick not seeing what I was doing at all. This of course was backwards in the image from the camera's perspective so I simply had to do a flip horizontal and voila.
BTW : My wife is laughing over my shoulder saying my regular handwritting isn't this good. ;-)
I take the chance to say thank you to the flickr community! Your photography is an incredible source of inspiration to me and I enjoy every single shot of it. I am honoured 50 people follow me now! Keep up the good spirit :)
Peace & Love!
Just for fun :-)

dear Flickr, we have some really good, caring communities here -- please, please don't mess that up! I have adjusted to the previous changes even though I still do not like them like the old flickr. Please don't make things even harder to use!
With descriptions curtailed and comments effectively hidden most of my stuff is going to be pretty pointless being posted here.
In the run up to the anniversary of the out-break of WW1, I was particularly looking to give the individuals on Norfolk War Memorials something more than just a name by telling a bit more of their life stories.
I've flounced from Flickr before when they made changes, was miserable for a couple of months that I couldn't find anything better and then came back when I discovered they had quietly undone many of the bad changes - well apart from having titles under pictures that is:-0.
When the changes were made earlier this year I was hoping something similar might happen but it looks like its going to get worse.
BTW Flickr, my tech-savvy kids with Windows 8, newer computers and ipads and softphones occasionally end up on Flickr from an internet search, say this is c**p as they have the typical attention span of their generation, and scoot of somewhere else.
Its not just us old foggies on XP who are hacked off :-)
****This frame was chosen on March 26th 2013 to appear on FLICKR EXPLORE(Highest Ranking: # 355) . Explore is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute -- That's about 8.6 million photos a day! From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm chooses only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period. That's only one image in every 17,000!..... so I am really thrilled to have a frame picked and most grateful.

Photograph taken at 10:57am on Saturday 9th March 2013 off the A5 and A4086 at Llynnau Mymbyr (also known as the Capel Curig lakes), two lakes located in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a valley running from the village of Capel Curig to the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel in Snowdonia, north-west Wales.
This is actually a single lake originally called Llyn Mymbyr, with a maximum depth of 30 feet and three quarters of a mile in length with a delta that has built up midway along the north shore, hence the plural name. The river feeding the lakes is the Nantygwryd (or Nant-y-gwryd), which has its source at Llyn Cwm-y-ffynnon, also marked on maps as the Nant Gwryd, which is a tributary of the Afon Llugwy. The two rivers join at Capel Curig.

*cette Beta Page n'a été disponible que pour les' utilisateurs de la version anglaise de Flickr
Je précise donc pour tous ceux qui ne l'ont pas vue que la Beta page ne comporte plus de zone blanche sous les photos pour les descriptions / commentaires / invitations / flickr Award Counter..
Seulement une étroite barre latérale à droite de la photo ne montrant que les 4 derniers commentaires
Typographie blanche sur un fond noir et funèbre qui blesse les yeux
Aucun sens .
Difficile d'écrire un commentaire de plus de 2 ou 3 mots
Nous ne pouvons pas voir qui a mis en favoris
Nous ne pouvons pas voir dans quels groupes les images apparaissent ( Ã l'exception de 8 )
Les images des Awards ne sont pas affichées dans les commentaires ; ce qui veut dire que ni les membres ni les admins ne peuvent contrôler
Les invitations n'apparaissent pas ( les plus récentes sont visibles SEULEMENT dans " Dernière Activité ') Les plus anciennes sont perdues
Les invitations sont essentielles au fonctionnement des groupes ( beaucoup sont sur invitation seulement )
Pour les admins la gestion des groupes va devenir une tâche de plus en plus difficile sinon impossible
Des groupes risquent de fermer et ils donnent de la visibilité à nos images
Nos descriptions incluant des citations ou des liens vers YouTube et autres sites sont masquées
PLUS AUCUNE convivialité / visibilité / AUCUN SENS
En fait cette disposition est conçue avant tout pour les tablettes ou smartphones
_Retour des utilisateurs
Malheureusement tout ce que nous pouvons faire semble inutile ....
Yahoo et Flickr s'en fichent
Malheureusement il est évident que Yahoo veut faire de Flickr un autre réseau social pour les personnes (essentiellement ados et "djeunes" ) utilisant seulement des tablettes et autres smartphones et dont la seule interaction est Hi ou LoL
Les photographes motivés utilisant encore des ordinateurs (avec des logiciels d'édition) et de grands écrans ne sont plus des clients souhaitables
( Ni les groupes puisque nos invitations ne sont plus visibles que dans "dernière Activité" ....Les plus anciennes sont perdues et tout est fait pour entraver leur bon fonctionnement )
La publicité est infiniment plus lucrative que nos comptes-Pro
Combien de personnes savent ce que représente cette Beta Page ??? Je me le demande ?
Seulement les utilisateurs de la version anglaise ....
Les utilisateurs de toute autre langue n'ont pas été informés ; étonnant non???
A partir de maintenant c'est nouveau , tout le monde peut tester la Beta Page en choisissant "English" en bas de la page Flickr
Essayez !!!!
Tout ceci est très décourageant
The new Flickr interface is about to destroy the user experience, so I`am joining this protest to show, that the new interface isn´t either useful nor wanted.
Feel free to copy this image and post it yourself.
where it all started...
had to decide if i was going to renew my subscription today.
it's been six years since i bought my first camera and joined flickr.
my original intent was just to use flickr as a database tool to keep track of my pics.
at the time, i had no idea what affect clicking on the "join now" button would have on my world.
to my surprise, people actually took interest in my crappy shots.
their kind words of encouragement motivated me to take even more crappy shots.
then one day, i attended my first flickr meetup...
wam! bam! my life would never be the same again!
through flickr, i have been blessed to meet amazing people from all over the world.
from waianae to the northshore...from alaska to new york...from japan to iceland...young and old…
we've celebrated the birth of children and mourned the passing of loved ones.
we've laughed, cried, and fought...
we've guided and inspired each other…
not only in this artform we call photography, but in the way we live our lives.
to all the wonderful people i've been blessed to meet over the past six years,
LOVE YOU, GUYS!!!!
