What a pain their "Facebook wannabe" format is!
My complaint is probably age-related...I'm beginning to dislike change.
But if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Yeah, that part's obviously good.
I've had a Pro account for years.
But I can't figure out how to get the photos on here...where's the HTML/BB code stuff?
Will keep looking.

Right clicking used to work.
Played with it a bit.
Go into Photostream (and forget that horrible new front page), and click the icon that looks like an arrow coming out of a white box.
That leads to the HTML / BB code page.
Sheesh...trying that:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/8048673554/" title="002 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8317/8048 ... 8d71_c.jpg" width="600" height="800" alt="002"></a>
OK it worked.
They hid the Actions thingy. Turns out it's now the three dots. Stoooooopid changes.
They're turning into a FB wannabe.

I forgot to ask what you use ( IE, chrome, Firefox etc). My method was for chrome... Glad you got it to work

Jesse,
I've got FF.
There are a lot of really unhappy posters/members over at the Flickr Help forum.

Took me a while to notice that I could use the old format "basic uploader" Now to see if I can get up to speed like the rest of you to post pics directly on PN.

I hate the new format too. It was just fine before.

John, you'll like the new uploader better.
I've been using it for about a year or so, and it's fast as lightning.
The basic was just too slow for me.
Michael,
Yeah, what's that old saying about "if it ain't broken...."
Discovered something that's helpful for me...from the main page (which we all hate), or from Photostream (sorry I can't remember), select EDIT in the navbar.
PRESTO up comes your photostream in a familiar format, what we're used to seeing.
Remember, too, that the 3 DOTS (icon) is where they hide ACTIONS (and isn't THAT stooooopid?)
and to SHARE your photo (embed in PN), click on the arrow coming out of the white frame/box.
That sound was my hair turning more gray...sheesh.
Or me swearing.
This new Flickr launch is akin to getting a new car, but nobody gives you the keys to it and you have to break a window to climb in.
