No one is going to come close to 1TB. That's just to make them headlines. I have a pro account and have been grandfathered in at $24.99. I wonder if I can deal with ads and just keep the $25. Besides, why pay $500 for another 1TB when you can just create another Yahoo account.
Got a tip for us?

Yahoo's Flickr Gets Major Design Overhaul, 1TB of Free Photo Storage Space

Not really sure where this leaves me......
In the UK through BT we had access to a Flickr Pro account which we used pretty extensively (30k plus pictures at last count).
I looked on the account settings page and it says I can keep the pro account as long as i use the BT service.
So going by that as a pro user I can carry on as is, question though is whether i will benefit from the large movie upload limit or whether as a "pro" i will be capped.

Yahoo isn't kidding around lately. They're getting back in the ring and don't want us to forget it.
Now they just need to call their ad/spy/malware toolbars off all the PCs they infected, starting with my English teacher's laptop... and stop using Bing search.

Make an image with ridiculous dimensions, save as TIFF, upload
is it just me or has a link to the account setting page gone from within Flickr?
I know the url is http://www.flickr.com/account/ but i cant find it when I am in the site. I would have thought it was on one of the drop down but it isnt....only way to link to it is through the search window..
EDIT never mind - found it - you need to hover over your picture in the top right and go to settings.

Where does it say this? I hope this is true. Fifty bucks per year is borderline for me vs. keeping (yet another) offsite backup. I wouldn't mind ads if I was using Flickr just to share photos, but that's not my primary reason for using Flickr.

I love that Apple keeps upping the megapixels on their iPhone cameras, but then gives you a ridiculous 5gb in iCloud. What a joke.
1TB, though, that is kinda crazy in the other direction. Very generous.

I am so hoping Yahoo makes a massive rebound and ends up again becoming a viable competitor in its respective markets. (especially for Google) I always have loved Yahoo Mail and Messenger, and their news/articles. Flickr, can't really see myself using, though I probably have an account from years ago I've never touched. Still, if this move proves successful, I hope that they can keep the ball rolling.

This happens because users always says when they are not happy but rarely leave positive feedback. Nowadays the important thing is to whine and write message like yours, I understand if you are 11years old.
Ah the new UI rock BTW.

Because you should empty camera roll. It is called this way for this reason.

Photostream has iirc a limit of 1000 pictures - no matter the megapixels...
Haha, no. No, no, no. It's because you should BUY MORE STORAGE. Apple has NOT developed the iPhone into a device with which you take photos and only keep them on there temporarily. Apple has NOT named the camera roll that to indicate that we're supposed to empty it, they've named it camera roll to indicate that this is where all photos reside, as opposed to the user created albums where you can organise your photos.
Yeah you can? The option is "Same as original".

Yahoo are setting them selves up to really get in bed with Apple.
I really like yahoo as a company so this is great.
Yahoo isn't kidding around lately. They're getting back in the ring and don't want us to forget it.
And if anybody is going to help them get a bit of strength, it's Mac users!
I really, really hope that this is the answer to all of us who want to be able to access our iPhoto library from anywhere. Imagine being able to link iPhoto to flickr and have everything, or selected events/albums/faces sync automatically. It would be Photostream on steroids, growth hormones and testosterone...
It's an awesome update! The website looks clean and renewed! Not bothered about the slight increase in Pro membership because mine doesn't run out until January and I don't need 2TB. Really nice to see Flickr growing further into something really cool!
I'm the same (although only about 3k pictures so far!). It was a nice addition to the BT service when it was added, as I'd had a year as a Pro member before the BT/Yahoo tie-up. Now I just need to warn elderly relatives that the link they have for my photos may *look* different, but they'll still be able to see them!
Wow, talk about throwing your toys out of the pram! Maybe you should lay off the sugary drinks for a while.....
Seriously, though, I know it looks different, but what is actually wrong with it? You can still do all you could before. I quite like it....
