Yeah I have a free account, Maybe that's it. Flickr will only post photo's from paying customers? Whatever...Flickr Sucks in my opinion. NOT HAPPY ! Yahoo would post anybody's. I have even used Special Tags to go directly to my photo's yet all I get is a stupid jerkweed message that reads..."Okay, We give up"... How stupid. If some one on here should find my pic's? Please tell me how? Providing you found them without going straight to my name. Signed One Ticked off user! BillyjoeG. Funny, I can’t even find my photo’s in a search or even a “Tag” search.

I got the cd instead. Flickr stinks for folks like me. It is not for family, friends and sharing. Flickr is for the serious photo hobbyist with higher end cameras, advanced photoshop software and possibly an art degree. It is harder to use, is missing many of the fun little edit tools, and doesn't really let you share with folks unless they sign up. (if it does let you share with non-members then they make too hard to find the directions) After 3 weeks of having a test picture up, you still can't find it using the tags, and the photos come out rather dark compared to the appearance when on the home machine. I would have been willing to pay to stay with Yahoo photo, a friendly little site for family albums with room for photos from the low end digital camera and amateur user. No way am I staying with Flickr even for free. Oh I do so miss you Yahoo photo! Well I’m sure glad I didn’t transfer my photo’s. I got the cd instead. Flickr stinks for folks like me.

I am not most disappointed in the fact that Yahoo is suggesting that we loyal users agree to move our precious photos over to Flickr’s servers. This is obviously, from the plentiful comments here, a huge disservice to users such as myself who have grown to love and trust Y! Photos’ convenient ability to share photos and albums to a select or unlimited amount of people (without the recipients’ having to sign up—come on, how annoying is that Snapfish), plus the sheer ability to upload as many full-size copies of the original photos with the camera-stored info such as date, time, camera position, f-stops, etc. as the user wanted. Unlimited storage, that’s what us Y! Photos users most value, and I thought that was what you were going for with the e-mail gig, blowing up the storage limit, right Yahoo? So what is the rationale for this? Easier to compress email attachments like photos and mp3’s than it is to just compress users’ photos? This action has been obviously unmasked as a blatant attempt to coerce users into paying for what they have had up until now for free, and what they’re going to go elsewhere than Flickr for. Only get to see your last 200 photos after 3 months of Pro if you don’t fork out $25 a year? Give me break already. 3 albums or sets or whatever? Get a grip, man. Is the ship sinking? Anyway, what I really am most upset about is the situation in which Yahoo, in all its brilliance, has “deleted” the ability to drag and drop mail attachments which was one of the best things IMHO Y!Mail had to offer (which I was told by Y! cust svc. That somehow was related to the IE add-in Yahoo Photo Upload tool—go figure?!?!). For almost 2 months now, photos, files, .zips, whatever—everything all Y!Mail users used to accomplish by simply opening a Windows Explorer window with the file or photo you wanted to attach in view, JUST DRAG AND DROP photo or file right into the message. Boom! Done! If it were a photo, the Y!photos upload tool would give you a ton of options like borders, rotation options, thumbnail size, layout for thumb appearance plus you could insert text or name photos and call attention to a particular photo, among other options. If you dragged and dropped a file, it’d simply appear as an attachment, no going through 3 more steps and an attachment page with 5 fields, then clicking BROWSE and painfully navigating through 6 layers of folders to find that darned file, one by one… It makes me lose my mind because this was the greatest feature of Yahoo Mail and when I showed friends this ability (like Outlook has, too) they thought well, Wow, maybe I should be using Yahoo. Yeah, right.. Don’t switch over so fast, my friends. Losing this ability to drag and drop documents, photos, whatever kind of file into messages efficiently, easily, visually—without bureaucracy and hassle-free—I can’t believe that more users aren’t up in arms about this! What is wrong with Yahoo? This was a huge mistake, even more of a gaffe than the Yahoo Photos closing nightmare and the comments expressed in the Flickr forum certainly attest to that. Yahoo, get it together and stick to making money off of your advertisements. People aren’t going to pay for simple photo sharing services, you’re just irking those who where once loyal users, and who actually liked the services you were providing…so we put up with your annoying, obtrusive, blinking flash ads. Now—you’re not giving us even any incentive to do that.. how are you going to stay around and curry favor with users now? Your search engine is worthless, your social networking “groups” are lame and the only thing you have going for you is the largest free email site in the world. Don’t blow that as you go about setting shining examples of what not to do. You should know by now… users are finicky and will adapt to who provides them with the most bang for the buck. In this case, users like myself feel boondoggled and it’s pretty darned obvious that you’re ready to start charging for something that you were giving to us for free up until now. I hope it works out satisfactorily for you, for me it’s looking like a true disaster. In the end I’ll probably switch over to Flickr anyway, hopefully recover my photos from there and then find the next Picasa or something that’s going to hook me up for free. I’d think that instead of giving Y! photos users 3 months for free, you’d do something like a year for free or $10 first year trial… maybe you’re actually good enough that that would work, I dunno..

I have pictures that have been hosted on Yahoo Photos for close to 9 or 10 years; and now the number of pictures I have on Y! Photos is well into the thousands. However, after having read the comments here and on the Yahoo 360 Team's blog, it doesn't sound like Flickr's a good choice; I have individual ALBUMS that have more than 200 pictures... so for me to suddenly be barred from viewing my own photos until I fork over some money seems asinine. I must confess that I'm really disappointed. I had waited months to see when my account would be magically converted to the "New Yahoo Photos", for which I had seen an ad for close to a year or more every time I visited the site... only to find out that not only am I and all my photos being evicted, but I must find another non-Yahoo home for them if I want anything close to the same features I enjoyed in the first place. I do hope that someone at Yahoo's taking all this disappointment and feedback to heart; Yahoo is a business, and we are its customers. The customer is not stupid; and if some manager somewhere thought it was a great idea to inconvenience thousands of customers and potentially lose many of them because he/she thought customers would be dumb enough to shell out money for a service that doesn't even provide the same features they used to enjoy for free... well, that manager thought wrong. All I can say is that I am glad that I at least had the sense to look into the reviews and comments of other people, particularly those who fell for it and now aren't even able to access their OWN PICTURES. I will be looking into the other services to see if they at least offer the same features Yahoo Photos did, especially for free... I can at least give Yahoo kudos for giving us the option to choose.

I suspect that I am not the only one to make use of Yahoo photos, to be able to extend the capacity of showing Photos for the group I have on Yahoo. Plus we were able to make some of our albums public. This came about because the groups could only hold 30 meg until recently, even now since this has been increased it is still not enough room for a group such as mine. QUESTION 1.

Photos. I saw a few recurring questions and I wanted to take this opportunity to answer them for you. <em>Will the photos in Yahoo! Groups or Yahoo! Personals be deleted when Yahoo! Photos are deleted?</em> No, photos uploaded directly to other Yahoo! websites will not be affected by the closure of Yahoo! Photos. <em>Do users who switch from Yahoo! Photos to Flickr need to pay for unlimited photo uploads?</em> As soon as we finish moving your Yahoo! Photos to Flickr (if you choose that option), we will give you a 3-month Flickr Pro account for free, which includes unlimited uploads. However, you will eventually need to pay for Flickr Pro if you’re looking for a service with no limits. For more information on Flickr’s upload limits, click <a href="http://flickr.com/help/limits/#65" rel="nofollow">here</a>. <em>Will photos be deleted immediately once users transfer their images from Yahoo! Photos?</em> After you move to another photo service, Yahoo! Photos continues to store your photos for a limited time to ensure that the move was successful, but shortly thereafter the photos will be deleted from Yahoo! Photos when we know your photo collection has found a new home. If you are interested in trying more than one service, you may want to consider purchasing an archive CD (for users of the New Yahoo! Photos only) and uploading into the service(s) of your choice. Thanks for sending in your comments about the closing of Yahoo! Photos. I saw a few recurring questions and I wanted to take this opportunity to answer them for you.

Will the photos in Yahoo! Groups or Yahoo! Personals be deleted when Yahoo! Photos are deleted? No, photos uploaded directly to other Yahoo! websites will not be affected by the closure of Yahoo! Photos.

Do users who switch from Yahoo! Photos to Flickr need to pay for unlimited photo uploads? As soon as we finish moving your Yahoo! Photos to Flickr (if you choose that option), we will give you a 3-month Flickr Pro account for free, which includes unlimited uploads.

My photos were just transfered to Flickr and now I get the following message upon log-in: "About your photos... You've run into one of the limits of a free account. Your free account will only display the most recent 200 photos you've uploaded. All of your photos beyond 200 will remain hidden from view until you either delete newer photos, or upgrade to a Pro account. None of your photos have been deleted, and if you upgrade, they'll all come back unharmed. " Huh? Why did you lie to me with the following statement when you first told me that I needed to move my photos elsewhere: "To make the transition easier on our users, all Yahoo! Photos users moving to Flickr will receive 3 months of Flickr Pro for free, which has none of the limits described above. Then if these limits become an issue after your three-month free trial expires, you may choose to upgrade to a Flickr Pro account $24.95 per year. " So, my photos are finally on Flickr (by the way, it took you almost a week to move them there) and you are telling me that I have a substandard account and no one can see more than 200 of the photos unless I upgrade NOW. YOU LIED, Yahoo & Flickr, plain and simple. Shame on YOU. You people LIED. My photos were just transfered to Flickr and now I get the following message upon log-in:

Well, who hasnt got a program 2 view/store photos already ?? Yahoo!photos was all about sharing-and sharing only. Thats what made it special. Well, for me personally, I'll just keep my JASC PAINT PHOTOALBUM . Just no sharing with yahoo. But as for Yahoo ? U'll just have lost a valued client -- and soon there'll be more like me,who'll prefer Gmail 2 Yahoo.. It can be nothing but disaster. Well, who hasnt got a program 2 view/store photos already ??

It seems more logical to delete them all when the site closes, that way we have a chance to maybe save the pictures at more than one location if we aren't sure where to go, or if we change our minds??

But I thought you would propose to transfer our photos to flickr or some other services such as smugmug, photobucket... or even ipernity a new very interesting one. And what about people who have more than 200 photos ? this point is not covered in any information fromp yahoo. very disapointed too. So you’re closing Yahoo photos. ok – this cas happen.

I have absolutely no interest in Flickr's omg! features and much preferred Yahoo Photos. Words are not adequate to express my profound disappointment with Yahoo - as a yahoo user and (very small) shareholder. The company appears to be abandoning everything that works and works well for flash-in-the-pan features ... some sort of Web 2.0 run amok frenzy, I guess.

Flickr is for photography. Yahoo mail is about sharing pictures with no photography value (Family, Friends). You'll ruin the quality of flickr and lose the customers of Yahoo Photos (Which is much superior to Flickr for sharing pictures). Why are you doing this mistake?
