We've been happy customers for a couple of years now. They always have the bulbs we need in stock, and their prices are great. We would never shop for bulbs anywhere else! Slainte!

“Flickr discriminating”

Karin S.
3/1/23

Yesterday I tried to sign up for Flicker. After receiving the confirmation email I clicked at the link, and I could login. But after that, I directly got the message "Account creation failed". No other message, nothing. So I tried again, with another browser. Same issue applies. Strange as it is my first try to sign up with this website. With an email address from a domain that only exists a few weeks. I send an email for help. And guess what?! I am being seen as "risky" and denied having an account. No explanation, nothing. I am just risky? This makes me angry. Why am I risky? Because I live in Bulgaria? And thus must be risky, that is how it feels. Being dismisses as a kind of criminal. I never have done anything against the law, on the contrary, for all my jobs I needed a risk/security clearance. Which I have gotten, always. And then being dismissed as "risky". Says enough about a company like this. Flickr you are discriminating, and thus you have no right to exist.

Flickr is awesome for photographers! Such great quality and they protect your images! I'm not an aspiring photographer or anything, but I love uploading even my not-so-great photos onto this site! Definitely reccommend this!

This is a terrific free to join site for photographers at any level. Privacy settings are really good, lots of groups to join and friends to make. This site has the best copyright and download protection for photos. It is the BEST site on the Internet for Free Photos in their extensive 'Creative Commons' - genuine sharing by people of great talent. The galleries are really good, and you can link your flickr gallery to your website. Its well styled and easy to navigate round as a user or a visitor.

I know Flickr has been the biggest photo sharing website popular to photographers. I'm a casual photographer and I had to sign up for this when I took a course in digital photography. First, I'm not too happy about having to sign up with Yahoo just have to a Flickr account. It's like what Google pulls people to do with having a Gmail and a Google Account.

Second, the navigation is complicated and confusing, in my personal experience. It's really hard to navigate and the batch organizer looks really outdated. It's like you could go to the same page in two different ways for no reason. Deleting photographs or editing data on it is hard to find and also could be done in multiple obscure ways.

I'm deleting my account right after my photography course is over.

I never saw the appeal of flickr but people kept sending me their photos through flickr so I finally joined. Very well thought out design of a website. It has a simplicity to it that just can't be beat. There is not much more I can say about this site that other reviewers have not already pointed out but just take my word for it and join this site, upload your photos and share :)

Share your Photos! - This is certainly one of the better online photo sharing applications. The privacy features of this site is definitely superior to its competitors. However, it is not a very good photo management application. It can be difficult and cumbersome to use.

Flickr.com is a site where you can post your photos. They give you the option of making your content private or public. The site also has groups that you can join and you can post photos onto the group page or start your own group. I find the search for photos and groups to be a bit of a pain because it doesn't offer enough options to narrow down results. Overall, this is a great site to share and view pictures.

Very easy to use, convenient and simple. I like the quality and the option to choose from different usage rights when you are searching. Great for photographers who want to have a quality portfolio but not ready to invest a lot.

They are really great! I love their services specially their employees. So hard working! Anyway for any Electrical needs near Orlando check them out! A-Lumination Electric is the best Orlando residential electrician for you is that they are invested in your safety and security. They want to make sure that your house is up to standards, and that you have all of the information that you need to maintain an electrically stable home. They have helpful information about home safety on their website, so that, even after your service, you can stay connected and informed. Call them! *******412

I use Flickr all the time and have spent the $ to be a "pro" user. For the most part think it's a great service. The only reason I don't "love" it is I find the Organize section to be a bit cumbersome. There's always a bit of a learning curve when I go there to do mass editing/tagging/etc.

I spent the first few years of my cyber life wandering looking for something that satisfied my creative itch in photography. Most sites in 2004 were pretty vanilla. The content being fairly predictable tropes. Being a virtual newbie to the online space I didn't connect much anywhere. Then flickr came along. I promptly paid for the pro level account and never looked back. Here I am 16 years later still forking out my annual subscription. Except now I use it to also backup all my jpegs too. It is my home away from home and the place I spend most of my online existence. Admittedly the 'community' got the life sucked out of it by Facebook and then instagram but hey I like hanging around in there and the images I ave backed up are tucked away and I'm not fed ads or do they use my data in a way that offends me.

Flickr is, simply put, an excellent website. The photos are incredibly easy to search, and the advanced search makes it very easy to select exactly what kind of photos you're looking for. The photos are mostly high quality as well. Giving you a terabyte of data is also incredibly generous. Would highly recommend using this site.

I'm not a pro photographer so i don't use it for work or anything, but since the big redesign happened, I can't get my head around the site. It's awkward to navigate and actually considering deleting my account. As i said, i'm not a photog, so it might be different for you guys!

Flickr is the top for online photo management. It is good for showing off your favourite photos and videos. You can even make photos private so only your family can view them. There are lots of apps to customise your viewing.
On the downside the free account only allows 200 pics.
Overall If you want to upload photos this is the site to use.

I think I first saw this website around 10 years ago, at that time it had a different layout and It had a contest also.
Now the changed the website and there is no challenge or contest which so bad i think, also recently very few activity at there.
But still I like that site.

Tip for consumers:
Good beautiful website to share photo but unfortunately very few activity at there. I mean i received very few feedbacks in comparison to other sites.

Photographs... Ultimate sharing - There are photo sharing websites that are popping up everywhere. Some that have been around for several years and some that are new on the scene. I have used a couple and still have several accounts out there. The website that I enjoy the most (in my opinion) is www.Flickr.com. There are two different types of accounts that you can choose from, a free account that will let you try out flickr for awhile if your not sure about spending money... limited uploads, and there is the pro account, pay a small annual amount and get unlimited uploads.

I enjoy the versatility of the people that you meet and the different critiques on your work. I have met professional photographers down to just beginning photo-takers. Take a peek and see what you think. :)

I put all of my photos on flickr to share with family and friends. The main reason I like it is that I can easily share photos with those relatives who have ZERO computer knowledge. I sent a link to my flickr account to my 70 aunt and she figured it out. I have tried that with other photo sharing sites and she was not able to navigate the site. My 70 year old aunt is my litmus test on how easy it is to navigate a website... if she can do it, anyone can do it.

The website has a lot of offer but in the last couple years the site privacy has issues as well as the changes made by Yahoo no longer make it a very user friendly site. There is a lot of hard core porn photography there if that is the type of photography you are looking to find. The hard stuff is well filtered if you do not wish to see it. There are some great photographers featured on the website and you can not beat the price, 1TB of space for free, for now.

Yeah I like flicker too they have the easy picnic tool you can use to edit your photos into artsy fartsy stuff or make you look better in photos for free. But if you want the premium stuff you have to pay for it. I totally dig it over photobucket.

Most people already know Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/) as a great, simple to use, free photo / album / picture sharing site.

What I hadn't realised is that it also hosts some excellent time lapse videos.

Depending how much time you have to lapse:

Or for a tighter Yahoo editor's selection of some of the best

Some great sequences. Have fun!

I've used it since 2008 without a single problem. The rest of these characters are merely to get to the threshold where this stupid min character requirement is satisfied.

Some of the best photographs are available on this site. Most are just for viewing and sharing, but you can even download some pictures to print. Very cool.

Even though I needed Flickr as a photography enthusiast; I boycotted Flickr yesterday. So why is Flickr bad?

1. SafeSearch is a joke. You will run through a lot of inappropriate images. It is not safe for children under any circumstances. Hence, you cannot use it with comfort if your children are around. Another issue is the flagging button. You cannot flag a photo for review unless you open it. What a terrible design? Having to load inappropriate images in order to "flag" them?

2. Customer service are negative and neglect their own guidelines. I reported a group that was mocking a particular religious group which is against Flickr's guidelines. Guess what? The group is still there, the customer service response was awful.

3. The search function is primitive and doesn't suit photographers AT ALL. The mobile version is even worse. Searching groups is a pain. Is that a website meant for photography?

4. Search results load in a single large page overloading your computer and browser. Again, terrible design.

In short? A painful experience.
