Once again we are at a juncture where the programmers have forced many and especially those that use the English version and paid for premium pro accounts to use the "New Flickr Experience"
The programmers and leadership at Yahoo (i.e. CEO Marissa Mayer) failed to pay attention to the flickr users back on December 8, 2013 (flickr Black Day) and simply ignored the many fine photographers that made flickr what it was.
For the flickr programmers and especially the staff that monitor the forum please know you have once again ignored the users and pandered to advertisers. Really bad idea for flicker to change the old format. We don't mind changes that make it better, but this time your programmers got it WRONG!!!
We all enjoyed this site the way the format was without having the square pictures to the left of the info. The info blocks do not provide us with many of the options we used to have should be left as it was without messing with them and the photo format should NOT have been changed.
I would encourage everyone to only post Red for the next 36 hours and especially on 6 April and I would also encourage folks to use the flickr and Yahoo forum to ensure their voices are heard load and clear to the programming and corporate staff that their changes are making a once great web site horrible.
Simply Flickr staff and the Yahoo CEO (Ms. Mayer) pandering to the advertisers and not to the millions of great photographers that made (past tense) Flickr what it was. Flickr will go the way of AOL and MySpace if the flickr leadership doesn't listen to the photographers that provide the CONTENT and basis of what this web site was supposed to be. We will find a better platform if you make the changes stick or don't fix the multitude of bugs quickly!!!!!!!
Maybe it really is time to try 500px. What say you? What say flickr staff? What say you Ms. Marissa Mayer (CEO of Yahoo)!!
I did not think they could make Flickr any worse, but if you have tried their new photo experience beta you know they have. They have finally completed the conversion to attract only users wanting to load and view dozens of snap shots at a time. They should have two version one similar to the old version for users wanting to display a photo, and another version for those that want to load and display in mass. It will never have though, because Yahoo and Flickr are clueless and make changes just to make changes with no understanding of their users.
Flickr Black Day
8 décembre 2013.
Pour protester contre les modifications imposées par Flickr sans sondage préalable de la communauté des Flickr-nautes.

Take care guys ...and have an awesome Sunday !
Danke an  samaja  für's erstellen des Plakates.
Heute ist der SCHWARZE FLICKR TAG, um gegen die erneut kommenden massiven Änderungen zu protestieren, denen wir bald wieder ausgesetzt sein sollen.
Die Beta Version wird im Moment bisher nur in den englischsprachigen Ländern eingesetzt.
Folgende Veränderungen wird es geben:
-Unter dem Bild gibt es keinen Platz mehr, um das Bild zu beschreiben;
-Auf der rechten Seite des Bildes gibt es nur noch ein schmales Kommentarfeld, das NUR noch die letzten vier Kommentare anzeigt.
-Kommentarlänge ist begrenzt
-Man kann nicht mehr sehen, wer das Bild favorisiert hat.
-Man kann nicht mehr sehen, in welche Gruppen das Bild gestellt wurde (nur noch 8 Gruppen)
-Einladungen sind nicht mehr sichtbar (außer der letzten – bei den „Neuesten Aktivitäten“).
-Für die Gruppen-Admins wird die Arbeit sehr viel schwieriger oder wird gänzlich unmöglich.
Einige Gruppen werden schließen…und es sind die Gruppen, die unsere Bilder bisher sichtbar gemacht haben. Sie haben es uns möglich gemacht, wunderbare Arbeiten zu sehen und großartige Fotografen kennen zu lernen.
-Unsere Bildbeschreibungen einschließlich Zitate, links zu YouTube oder anderen Seiten sind nicht mehr sichtbar.
Das neue Layout zielt auf die Bedürfnisse von Tablets- und Smartphone Benutzer ab.
Danke an *Loona* für den Text.

Once again, Flickr have selfishly changed things without thinking about what its members think. I have become used to the last change, and am not happy to protect until I know what I'm protesting about, but agree with my Flickr friends and this time I am happy to support them.
If you have not tried out the beta (or are one of the fortunate ones that did not have it forced upon you) then consider yourselves lucky. Here are just a few of the things one can find in the new Flickr that will be coming our way...
- A tiny area for your description relegated to the upper right corner of your screen. Telling the story behind your photo is no longer important and is hidden (must click a button to see the entire narrative) if the description is more than a sentence or two.
- Links in descriptions are now hidden.
- Descriptions in general are more difficult to format.
- The comment area is tiny as well. Only room for a "nice photo", unless you hit the "more" button. And only four comments are shown...unless you push a "more" button (they do love this "more" button!).
- No graphics can be added to your comments. For some that may mean no awards or group graphics, for others it means no outtakes or additional shots that you may want to have accompany your primary photo.
- Speaking of comments...they are now in reverse order. So, say, you are having a conversation in your comment area it will be more difficult to follow (goodbye community). Also, you cannot reply to more than one person at a time.
- Invitations to groups in comments? You got it, not visible either.
- One last thing on comments. You can't edit them.
- Favorites are now strictly anonymous.
- All lettering is white on a black background. This is very difficult, if not impossible, for some people to read.
- When you click on someone's photo you are basically trapped there, as the Flickr toolbar disappears. The only option you have is to go to their photostream (where the bar will reappear) or use your browser's back arrows. Because this makes navigating so much more cumbersome, I stopped commenting on photos when I was forced into the beta seveal weeks ago.
This is just a small sampling of the issues with the new photopage...let your voices be heard!
So many Flickr fanatics feel passionate about this. I spend hours (each week) on Flickr. Hopefully my experience isn't dulled by new 'innovations'
Everyone seems to have different ideas of what exactly Black Day means. To many its just protesting about the New Photo Experience Beta that flickr has been testing for a couple months. To me that is the most important. Others want flick back to the way it was 6 months ago before the last big change. That will never happen since those changes actually increased traffic to flickr. People that say they pay for flickr and shouldn't be forced to change forget, flickr really doesn't want your money. They got rid of Pro and made Ad Free cost twice as much for only a single feature. They want us all viewing ads.
People that are totally against change will certainly never win. Flickr has to update and change or it will die, but it would be better to make changes in small increments over time instead of changing everything at once to something that doesn't even look like flickr. To force comments on the side, its not possible to display more than a few comments at a time and they must be short. That kills any chance for meaningful discussion or interaction between users. Flickr says they are making flickr more social yet they are taking away our ability to communicate effectively.
If flickr goes through with this Enhanced Photo Experience without massive changes, there will be nothing left of the service we love. Flickr beta is not a photo service I want to be part of. Its likely that a huge portion of flickr's users don't care about commenting and real user interaction because they just dump photos here for storage, but those of us who try and promote our photos and interact with other users are what keep flickr active. Community interaction is what drives many of us to continue posting new work. Stuffing all the user interaction into the corner of the screen will discourage interaction.
Copy and paste comments like "Very beautiful ! Excellent work !" are not problem with the new system. Contacts that leave actual meaningful comments and interact with each other are far more valuable, educational, and encouraging. For people that don't ever experience that, this new commenting system showing only the latest 4 comments won't make a difference. If the only comments a user gets are copy and paste group comment codes, only seeing the latest few won't matter either. With the extremely limited space for the sidebar, It is just impossible for the new design to display more than a few short comments. It cannot be improved without making the sidebar significantly bigger and that gets in the way of their larger photos.
The protest has possibly already made a small difference (unless its just coincidence). Some users have been trapped in the beta for a couple weeks now, they finally were allowed to opt-out again. I can't imagine being forced to use the current beta for an extended period. I think the best we will manage out of this protest is a slightly improved flickr beta by the time it becomes the only option. I just hope its improved enough.
I guess I need to remember my Ipernity login info. Add me as a contact over there just in case. I don't want to leave flickr, but may be forced to.

A few of the problems with New Experience Flickr:
1. Pressing enter submits comments and creating new lines requires Shift+Enter.
2. New lines (paragraphs) are not displayed in comments.
3. Comment area to type or read is tiny (twitter like).
4. Comments don't display images anymore.
5. Comments are displayed in reverse order (newest at the top).
6. Only the most recent four comments are displayed.
7. Long comments must be clicked on to read the whole thing.
8. Only short three line description is visible until clicking for more.
9. Hashtags #allruntogether instead of just normal readable tags (trying to be trendy).
10. It is hard to see who has favorited your photo.
11. You can't see group invitations anymore.
12. Admins can't do group invites anymore.
13. The add to groups popup only lets you scroll through the groups (no search).
14. Following instead of Contacts (more copying the trendy young sites).
15. The huge photos and heavy javascript are bad for slow connections.
16. Not able to use BB/HTML links in comments.
17. Not possible to create Note or People boxes on photos.
18. Not Possible to edit comments.
19. Editing Photo Description doesn't show you entered edit mode and is clumsy.
it is time to act against this brutal murder against innocent people, lets all stand up and say " no more" lets all face the moslims and say "face the truth this is done by your brothers who did it in name of Allah and Mohammad " not one religion in the whole world approves murder, all are condemning murder, read the ten commandements that god gave to Moses " YOU SHALL NOt KILL " is one of them, don't follow those false profets who order you to kill in name of Allah , there is no heaven for murderers they have to perish until the end of time in hell
I DON'T WANT the new Flickr layout (Beta version) where:
- the cramped comment box appears as a column to the right hand side of the page;
- pictures with descriptions will have just a part (one line) of the text visible;
- just few comments will show and it steals the facility for friendly interaction between contacts;
- with the cramped comment area, group activities will be severely affected that awards or group invites wouldn't appear as you wish;
- the pictures in thumbnail size appears compressed and zoomed in. That is, if I display a portrait; all you can see is the subjects nose and lips, in thumb nail size;
- if you upload pictures in small size, they will appear unproportionately stuck to the top of the screen;
- the 100mm wide column on the right side has to accommodate the users name, buddy icon, title of the picture, description, number of views, date, sets, fave star, number of comments, share this photo, three dots indicating 'more' ( drop down menu ), a 5mm narrow strip as comment box, space for 3-4 comments and symbols for copyright information / groups ( can display 6 groups ) / tags.

You can upload this image and post it any day before 8th December. Even now, because it will help spread the word. But be sure that you change the upload date to Dec 8th or upload fresh on December 8th.
