Is anyone else having issues accessing, viewing and uploading to flickr at the moment?

It has't worked properly for me for the last week or so.

This is what i am getting, and the website is generally slow to load and rubbish. Worse on safari than it is on chrome, but still can't upload.

If its working for you guys, it can't be a whole flickr thing, strange!

I downloaded the new(?) windows uploader and that managed to upload a few pictures but not all the ones I wanted it to!

Weren't some virus checkers restricting uploading on Flickr? I know AVG would stop uploads from my windows laptop, but I don't have a problem on a Mac.

No problems for me at the moment, working ok.

The upload function fails for me this happens surprisingly regularly frown The downloadable up-loader doesn't launch in Windows 10.

I have trouble with Photobucket uploads, I'll select a set of ten photos and it will always fail with at least one. I figured it was my mobile broadband connection, but it even fails when that's performing well.

I have got AVG. I'll check that when I get home. Thanks.

I've also had this problem for a few weeks. Googled but didn't find a solution, the article I read said something about them recently opening their app up to allow uploads via mobile (inferring that they were struggling to cope with increased usage).
