Flickr crippled by video?

Is anyone else finding flickr extremely slow at the moment?
I bet it's access speeds are being hampered by video content on there.

Re: Flickr crippled by video?

I'm on a slower than normal connection here, but it's flying when I'm pimping

Seems ok here tbh, could be the sudden influx of Avf'rs

Just because OneFiveNine is finding Flickr to be a pain in the arse is no reason to call him surly!

Re: Flickr crippled by video?

I can get onto flickr OK but I seem to be unable to upload using flickr uploadr or the Lightroom plug in, I can only upload directly from the site.

Rizing, it wasn't meant to be a correction per se, I thought it amusing that your spelling error portrayed Onefivenine as being slightly bad-tempered; even though my interpretation was based on a mis-spelling too. I presumed you meant 'surely'!

Actually, I'm enjoying a lovely drop of Highland Park and the Airplane joke was nearly wheeled out earlier.

Re: Flickr crippled by video?

The last two times I have tried to upload photos using the Uploadr I have managed to get the phoptos up but when I add descriptions and tags etc before finally submitting them the page has hung and I have had to type descriptions out all again.........and add tags

Very annoying!
