Long overdue, let's hope they don't balls it up

I like flickr how it is

[Matt..]

I have been on Flickr for ~6yrs and i don't remember it ever significantly changing, so yes, this is LONG overdue!

[JulianHJ]

I don't like the new 'Recent Uploads' page in the 'My Contacts' section. If that's anything to go by for the new look, I think I'm going to hate it.

What's this massive obsession with things changing constantly? Why can't it just stay the same? [/Daily Mail].

Me too. Very simple and usable. Why change it.

Constantly?

Flickr can't have had a significant update for at least 5yrs.

[Dogsey]

Is it just me or did nothing change?

They rolled in an optional change to start things off, in the "your contacts" page you can choose "justified" as the view. There is more in the pipeline, unless I'm mistaken...

I can't see that on mine Baz, maybe its not out to everyone yet?

It showed up as the default on mine around Wednesday or so, actually quite like it as you can fav and comment directly on the images which are sitting in a "brickwall" style format, so you get to see the entire image instead of just part of it in a thumbnail etc. At for those that don't like it, as it's just a view option then you can still go back to the old view anyway

Here's a couple of screenshots:-

Option showing in top right...



And the options when hovering over with your mouse (top left pic)...

[Dogsey]

Nice, not arrive on mine yet either though. Gits.

I have the Justified view on my Contacts page too.

[v15ben]

I got the new style Contacts page at the start of the week. To me it just looks like a Yahoo image search page (which would make sense given who owns Flickr!) and I've changed back to the old format instead.

PS - We have at least 2 contacts in common judging by those screenshots, Baz
