New Flickr

I must be dumb but I hate new Flickr
For example, how do you copy/paste the BB code these days?
Why did they change? Does nobody else have concerns over what they've done to a great site?

Just click on the the icon that looks like an arrow coming out of a screen.

Re: New Flickr

Thanks Norman, but my goodness, that's convoluted. In fact, I'm still not sure that I'm pointing at the right photo when copying the BB code - it used to be so easy.
Doesn't anyone else on here just hate the new flickr, or is it just me? Worldwide there's been public outrage at what's happened to the site, and I tend to agree with it. Whilst there are some new features that are nice, generally it seems to have taken a zillion steps backwards.

Re: New Flickr

Ah. ok, click on the photo first, then click on the arrow coming out of the screen...yes, I am dumb!
Still don't like it when compared to the previous version,,,other opinions?

Re: New Flickr

I hate the new android app. Navigation is very confusing. I store most of my content in sets and I can't find any way to view thumbnails after selecting a set so it takes forever to find a picture. I'm going to build a wordpress site and use the nextgen gallery plug in I think. Then at least I'm in control.

Re: New Flickr

I'm with you Andy...they appear to have let a school-boy loose with some code and a "vision"...

It's appalling, but don't think it'll be changed back again....

If it's not broken, don't fix it....!!!!

After a week or so of use I think it is. Not sure about the Android app as I don't use it. Can't see the point of viewing images on a phone.

Re: New Flickr

If you click on the "Edit" tab when you're in "Photostream" view, it looks almost identical to the old page. The only thing that I can see missing is the overall (total) page view, which is irritating, but can I suggest be tolerated.
