Anybody else having trouble with Flickr, this morning? It seems to be struggling to get through a complete sequence. Last group of pictures I added, it took about 15 minutes before it would display the originals. Another set, it didn't get far enough to let me upload a pic. Is it just my interface? or is Flickr having a problem?

Scrooge: What method do you use to upload? Do you upload to their website or do you use Flickr Uploadr? I use the Flickr Uploadr (v. 3.0.5). The only problem I've had most recently (like the last two days) is that the tags I apply in Photoshop Elements don't get carried over to Flickr like they used to. Some photos get all the tags, some get one tag, and others get none. I like to tag my photos so I can easily find a trip, person, place, or thing. Flickr has recently changed the look and format of your homepage. I'm not sure if that would affect anything.

I've had problems viewing photos on Flickr (and even logging on to yahoo at times) since yesterday evening, so they must be having some issues.

I've been using it right through the change, what with the new puppy and all, and haven't had a problem with Uploadr or the Flickr site loader for doing videos. /shrug

Do you have Verizon? If so, there is some type of problem between Verizon and Flickr ( and all Yahoo sites). If you go to the Forums on Flickr, you'll see some of the discussions. There is also a discussion about this out on dslreports. Some people have had success if they are able to get a new IP address from Verizon. I tried to chat with Verizon about the issue but gave up after an hour in the Chat queue. I hope they get this fixed soon.

Looks like it's fixed. Flickr and Yahoo both appear to be back to normal.

Any one else having problems with Flickr and Yahoo recently? We've had problems accessing them both the last two days. Can't even get the home page of Flickr to load up let alone any of NWHikers photos.

[Scrooge]

No problems from any direction, Karen. I've used Flickr starting with the forum link, and I've reached it directly using my desktop shortcut, and also going in via google. When I used the google link, Flick "recognized" my computer address and brought up my homepage immediately. edit - I can get there through Yahoo, too, sort of. Doing it that way does not give me the same homepage as going directly through Flickr, so I can, for instance, view my photostream, but it's a barebones sort of display, without the cluster of options I used to. I also had to spend a little time "waking up" my Yahoo identity, because I almost never use it. I mostly go to Flickr through the forum; I search or surf using google; and I go to Yahoo News directly, no identity required.

Last night it my screen started flickering (hah) whenever I opened flickr, but it's been fine today.
