I have been a Flickr member for years, like, decade or more. Been away for a long time and most people i knew are gone. Are there any active b&w groups? All i find are abandoned groups.

I found my old account by googling myself and was shocked to find it to be the top result. Almost 700 people have seen those pictures of me! I cringe just thinking about it. I need to have those pictures removed from Flickr. Can anyone provide me with information on how to get Flickr to delete the account?

And no, the pictures are not of an explicit nature. They're just cringe teenage pictures.

I have been wanting to try out Flickr Pro for a while now. I don't have a Flickr at all. I was hoping they would have a Black Friday sale, as some googling shows they have had discounted rates in the past, but haven't seen much as of recent. Does anyone know when they typically have new account sales? I'd love to try the service but I'd also love to get the best deal, initially!

Hi,

I'm using Flickr as my image hosting service. I've subscribed solely for one feature: unlimited image uploads. To be honest, the annual subscription price of $80 is very high. Flickr doesn’t offer any discount coupons or promotions. Last year, I tried canceling my account, and they offered me a good discount to stay. I’m not sure if this trick will work again.

Missing Upload Button on Flickr Desktop - Is This Happening to Anyone Else?

"I’ve never had issues with Flickr on my PC before, though it has been a bit slow at times. Recently, I noticed that the upload button is missing from my desktop version of Flickr, even though I can still access it fine on my phone. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a way to fix it or update Flickr to restore the button

Am I right in thinking that it doesn’t matter what a file name is before you upload to Flickr as it renames all files? For SEO purposes am I best concentrating on the photo title, description and tags once it’s on Flickr? Any tips regarding SEO and Flickr would be appreciated!

I noticed that since SmugMug took over Flickr that there is almost no development beside the switch to AWS.

In the website there's a photo I need to trace for digital design class, but I can't find the highest resolution version. The low and main photos I can find, but the third one when you click on it I can't seem to get

A month ago, I received this message:

"Hi, In joining Flickr, you agreed to abide by the Terms of Service and the Flickr Community Guidelines found below: https://www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne https://www.flickr.com/terms.gne Specifically, this includes the following guidelines: Use your Flickr account to share your work.

Lucky for me, it didn't occur. But now I have to take down a number of photos for good measure.

Hi

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

Basically I was wondering are most photos taken by US government agencies truly public domain? Okay for commercial use?

e.g like this one?

Thank you.

So I haven’t used Flickr since high school (2018)… and I have THOUSANDS of pictures on there. The other day, I was bored and googled my name. I found out that ALL of my pictures are now public. I see there is a new “privacy limit” to 50 pictures. But I don’t think it’s ok to make everything on my account public without my permission??! I don’t want to pay $72 a year to switch these back to private. What is everyone else using to backup up their photos online? I’m just so shocked.

I feel like I'm going crazy here but did Flickr increase their shipping costs? I know I've ordered prints from them before and not had to pay the 11.99 shipping. I'm going to lose money on this order because of this. What the hell?

Flickr isn't responding to my emails. I initially contacted them because I couldn’t access my account. After 48 hours, they replied, stating that my account was terminated due to Community Guidelines and Terms of Service violations and won’t be restored. According to their policy, violators should receive a warning and have the opportunity to appeal, but I never received any notifications. Additionally, I can’t find any details about the appeal process on their website, and they’re not responding to my follow-up messages. Does anyone know how to initiate the appeal process?

could someone explain this in plain english?

Uploading files take forever and support is non responsive. Does anybody what are currently the Flickr alternatives on the market right now?

I can't seem to share APU Alumni's albums like https://www.flickr.com/photos/169271208@N03/albums/72177720321625241, https://www.flickr.com/photos/169271208@N03/albums/72177720321636538/, etc. I tried sharing https://www.flickr.com/photos/169271208@N03/, my own, etc. without any problems. I am using Firefox v132.0.2 web browser.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Hello!

I'm not sure if posting surveys are allowed but I'm a student currently doing a project related to UI/UX and I would appreciate it if any users would help me provide some insights in Flickr's design. The survey is extremely brief and I need as much answers as possible, I appreciate each and every response!!

I started up a new account a few days ago, and uploaded about 150 photos into three albums.

I came to log into the account today and flickr is like "new phone, who dis?" and not even a link to the account will take my to my account. I know the password and email are accurate, so what gives?

Has anyone else gotten this message?

I don’t know why they’re doing this unless they’re hoping that people will forget to renew manually and therefore lose their unlimited storage (which I have because that option was grandfathered in when they redid how pro accounts worked.)

It seems to be from the right email, and when I tentatively opened the link it takes me to a page where I’m logged in and everything but I noticed that the email doesn’t have the little bit at the bottom that says ‘this email is in reference to the Flickr account number xyz’ which makes me feel a little uneasy. Obviously I’ve not done anything payment wise but something just feels off to me. I hope I’m just being suspicious and it’s fine though, as 30% off would be greatly appreciated!

I've been having problems with Flickr lately, just recently not all my images are displaying in the app, some are just grey boxes. If I click on them the information for the image is there but still no picture.

Then last night I was trying to organise some new images into albums, and suddenly some of my albums just weren't there anymore. This is the case whether using the app or website. If I click on an image I know was in one of the missing albums, the info shows it's in Auto Upload and nowhere else. All my images were in albums, now there are 23,000 that are not! There's no way I'm re-doing those albums again, there's been a lot of work put into organising them how I want.

Flickr say it's not just me but haven't found a fix yet

I know this is gonna sound stupid, but I just opened up my first Flickr account yesterday. I got really excited about finally being able to put all of my photos somewhere online that no one I knew could see because I am very insecure about any of the work I do. So... I started posting like- everything. A total of 8 photos in the span of an hour, 21 photos in about a day. The reason I mention my frequency is because its the only reason I can think of that my account got deleted, that my activity looked like spam. I know it's stupid because the account was so fresh, but is there any way I can get my account back? I contacted Flickr help but just keep getting emails with a link to accessing an account I don't have the password or email to.

I upgraded my account to Pro and now I can't see any of my photos unless I'm logged into THAT account.

After I favorite a picture from some accounts, I stop getting access to view their uploaded pictures. The screen is just white/grey no error text, no nothing. Is there a fix to this? Is IP or location block real?

Hi All,

With the recent warnings (I may have ignored earlier ones?), about public vs private images - I went in and made all my photos public so that they wouldn't delete it.

However, it appears that the free option is 1k limit and I have around 1,100 images. Sooooo, not sure if they're gonna delete me anyway?

Here's my dilemma - I pay for apple icloud, have access to google storage free, also pay for dropbox.

While I'm pretty sure most of the photos on my Flickr account are elsewhere - what is not, are the folders (I created them by "events"), that include photos that are named and have descriptions.

I'm at a loss as to what to do with these memories. I don't want to pay $75 a year to save these since I'm already paying for other services.

The only option I can see is create a Blurb photo book?

Other than that - does anyone have a digital option where I can keep these memories?

Thanks!

Seriously. I tried to open an account TWICE using the same gmail address. Every single time, the account got deleted after uploading a family photo. Then I noticed this has happened to many people ever since the company was taken over. That sounds familiar? Flickr is clearly being burned to the ground. Well, I won't be trusting them with my photos and I will also steer clear of SmugMug.
