Sites like flickr

People came back from Ipernity is that the idiots who had a lot of sway on Ipernity didn't like groups .Ipernity had some other deal-breaker for me (I don't care about groups), some other limitation that was unacceptable, so I sucked it up and came back to Flickr (I was away for maybe a day!).I didn't like the 2013 changes at all, but they didn't actually kill the usefulness of the site, and in time I got used to them.I've never seen on any other platform the same combination of powerful organizational features Flickr has. Ipernity came closest. Posted 78 months ago. ( permalink ) The Searcher says: Moxy Fruvous: As staff have said, apparently only 3% of all free accounts have more than 1000 photos in them. That's still a lot of accounts, but not exactly what you could call "most of the subscriber base." Posted 78 months ago. ( permalink ) HaarFager says: Do check out Ipernity. They had problems in 2013, but have got new owners and Ipernity just works like Flickr used to. And before anybody here says they haven't made an effort to improve the site - that's why it works - if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sites don't need to have to be continually "upgraded" to still be effective. Posted 78 months ago. ( permalink ) kiwijellyjam says: HaarFager (Pro): Thanks!

These are the reasons why I disliked other photo sharing sites I've looked at:1. Layout was outdated and needs to move on2. Too much focus on competitions3. No stats whatsoever4. No groups nor albums functions5. Sizes you're able to post6. Copyright options7. Unable to edit photos8. Adding info to photos9. Designed for photo storage and not sharingThese are my issues with other sites, including Ipernity, Instagram, Facebook, Gurushots, Google Photos and many others. And although many of these sites to have elements I do like, they also leave out key elements I need to have.Don't get me wrong, there's lots to improve on Flickr and with the new announcement for the Pro features/cost, I will be thinking long and hard when my renewal comes up in a few months.Unlike many others on the site, I wont be running to another site here and now, I've paid for my membership until June 2019 so why not use the site fully until then. It will give me the time I need to see if there's another option that offers the services

The site's layout seems disorganized and poorly designed.You can, of course, host photos on your own website. That can be free through sites like Wordpress. Fees are applied depending on the functionality and storage required. It is easy to self-build a simple site with low functionality.So, I returned to one of the first hosting sites I used.Flickr is now owned by SmugMug, the photo-sharing website host geared toward professional photographers. Flickr was once hugely popular. However, its popularity has waned over the years. That is a shame because it is an excellent platform for sharing images, especially since it gives control over whether third parties can download pictures. To extend beyond the free uploading of 1,000 photos to unlimited uploads, one must buy a premium subscription, which also gives ad-free browsing and unlimited private images. Flickr is $66.48 per year (with a two-year contract), a much better value than Fotki.You can put links to Flickr-hosted images on other social media and choose how much of its metadata is shared there. However, Facebook seems to restrict viewing posts with hyperlinks, expecting users to pay for them. Also, Flickr does not allow the storage of raw files.So, I didn't find what I was looking for. There was no winner. Perhaps if you are a software developer looking to make the next big thing on the internet, there's a place to start. I need a joint storage and social sharing platform for creators. It must never abuse our personal data, accept raw files, and be cost-effective. It must appeal to a broad audience, so everyone will want to join. Plus, it can't be filled with mindless reels or have "Like" buttons.Have you any suggestions of what I should use? It would be great to discuss them in the comments.

It with the mobile/cell phone companies? The main spammers on our forums are those selling phones, or offering to make knock-off copies. We've seen sites in the past on these forums with downloads from flickr, the main carriers over charge with extortionate rates if you want to use the damn thing abroad. Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Dr. Keats says: They're preying on those gullible dumb-asses who aren't capable of simply using a 'phone for making 'phone calls - ring-tones, wallpapers, games, SMS dating lines, and all that shit...

"Or, what is it with these image hosting companies who - despite opening up their code for all and sundry - seem to make the entire responsibility for copyright ours????The API is enabling mass infringement. Flickr, when you are back from your holidays perhaps you would please do something about this.Thanks.Plus, how about making this integration with Piknik a little more user friendly; like being able to add a watermark to all your Flickr files easily, rather than having to do it one at a time at the moment?

( permalink ) i_am_curiouskiwi says: The photos returned are sorted by interestingness... so my assumption is that it's a tag search by interestingness... not an RSS feed, for example. The easiest way to do that is using the API, isn't it?Although, seeing how it doesn't return every search, it may be a series of hard-coded queries... although why it would hardcode a search for "curiouskiwi" is beyond me. :) Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Walwyn says: Why would it be any different to the rest?API, RSS, tag search, badge, hardly any of these 'giveaway flickr image' sites actually invest in technology of their own. Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Alfie | Japanorama says: Because Striatic that would be the most logical way of doing it, the easiest and the way that most people do it. Hence my asking how organised Flickr are about policing the people who use their API. Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Alfie | Japanorama edited this topic ages ago. Walwyn says: I'm no longer seeing flickr images on the site. My tags don't turn up, and the 'cats' search is just returning lolcat stuff. If you still have direct links they'll show but I don't think the search is returning stuff. Posted ages ago. ( permalink ) Walwyn edited this topic ages
