This stuff makes me scared. Google's picasa is providing a similar feature. I'm sure Facebook is not far behind. I really see no way privacy can be maintained, even with preferences. FB can sell their data to Google, or Flickr/Yahoo to Apple and your face is databanked.

Neat.
Not sure about the listing of groups by the age of the group in the profile. It's kind of meaningless if you've got very old groups - they're pretty much dead groups. I preferred the listing by activity

I wish this was fleshed out more for pictures of people who aren't on Flickr. Or don't even have computers. (Like great grandma).
Otherwise, its cool. But most of my friends don't have Flickr, so I probably won't use it that much.

Did you just change the default setting for adding Notes and Tags to "Contacts"? I'm pretty sure it used to be "Anyone". Or is it that people in a group you add a picture to can add notes and tags even if the setting is "contacts"?
I very much want to have a different settings for adding "people" to my photos than for notes and tags, As far as I'm concerned, combining them is a major bug.
There should probably be an "add people" setting for "Only you or the person".

Nice that Flickr wants to compete with Facebook. </sarcasm> Also very good that Flickr offers the ability to get out of that, since like with Facebook a lot of people don't really want to be tagged like that (or with every possible photo of them).

maybe you can make this an optional item for some people, but i do not think that it's beneficial to what most people use flickr for. I store thousands of photos on here, and when I want to use photos I've archived in other work or on my website, I like to be able to drag them, or save to my desktop. This makes all of those options obsolete. It is also annoying because no matter where you click it gives you too many options now. This is not twitter for photos.

Why does anyone think I want to see photos of my contacts (pictures OF them; not From them)? Most of my contacts are people I've never met but I added as a contact because I like their photography. That doesn't mean I need to see what they look like.

well i was really hoping on a smooth face recognition solution to tag my friends in pictures. I spend already enough time to tag picutres and mark them on a map, if I start tagging people in my photos i think i gonna need ages to upload them.
But I kinda like how you start with the new features in the last few weeks, you kinda got lame after the yahoo akquisition. I really hope you gonna speed up again and show us new features much faster...

Now we know why Flickr was not working properly in the last few days. Once again Flickr decided to "move things around", to redecorate the front page, and the profile (I don't visit mine on regular basis).
PS : I read lots of group discussions and I think it would be useful to find a way to highlight the OP within the discussion. It would make long post easier to follow. Thanks.

The 'People in Photos' thing is a privacy nightmare. Why have you assumed that everyone wants to opt into this, so that the onus lies on them to actively have to opt out of it? It should be the other way around - everyone should be OUT of it unless they actively opt in..
Without my active consent to this process, a contact has, in the short period of time this feature has been live, added me to nine (and counting) photos. Now, if I opt out of the process, I've potentially upset someone and may need to explain why I've done this. It's a mail conversation I'd really rather not have had forced upon me through no act my own. Thanks a bunch for making a delicate scenario worse than it needed to be.

Since there's no separate topic for the new profile page I'm guessing this is the de facto feedback thread for that too. So...
I'm not so keen on 'In my own words...' .
Also could there be a problem with incorrectly filtered favourites appearing in a profile page? As it was before reading a profile might have been a good rough guide as to whether a photostream could contain potentially NSFW content. Now, if someone has unknowingly faved an image that has been incorrectly filtered and therefore falls outside your SafeSearch, you won't have a choice in whether you see it or not. Maybe I'm just over-thinking it.

i think the feature is great! if people who aren't into it because of privacy concerns can simply opt out, it doesn't seem like that big an issue.
however, i like adding people as i would tags. i'm not so into the whole notes aspect. ESPECIALLY because it doesn't even let me drag my own photos to my desktop, something that i use flickr for all the time, practically every day! i don't mind notes in general, so i don't want to turn them off, but i DEFINITELY don't want to lose this capability!

Ed: The first one is your "Screen Name", mine is Rev Dan Catt. The second one is your Firstname/Lastname that you set when editing your profile, so for me that's Daniel Catt.
You can change both:
Screen Name
Firstname/Lastname
And I'm sure that GreaseMonkey script will get updated when the author of it has had a chance to poke around with the new feature.

elementalpaul: maybe you aren't (overthinking). Since i have safesearch "off", I often go to the profile page first to get a sense of a user, before I "risk" viewing their photopage in public. But now that their favorites are sampled on the same page, it is more likely to get "flashed" with the kinds of pics they like, with no way to do "recon" anymore.

Ed but to be fair, that's kinda the risk you take when using GreaseMonkey scripts ... you're adapting a webpage in ways the creators didn't intend (or haven't gotten round to yet), which is great, but also prone to break easily should anything change ...
... and things tend to change.
I don't think you can really expect Flickr to check every 3rd party GreaseMonkey script when they do something like add a different class name to a page element.

Why does flickr KEEP changing things WITHOUT testing them out first ON the people who are paying for this service? I think after next year I won't be paying anymore because this is ridiculous. The profile page looks disgusting. Way too busy and crap is everywhere. I liked the testimonials on the right side, people don't scroll all the way down a page anymore. Ugh.

The thing is, there are hundreds if not thousands of Greasemonkey scripts for Flickr. And they rock, they are awesome. But it's beyond scope for Flickr to test every Greasemonkey script every time they make a change. In fact, if they were to make that a requirement, it's likely Flickr could never change their site format again.
It's unfortunate, I agree, but essentially unavoidable. I hope the script is updated soon for the benefit of you and others.

The secret of Flickr outage explained. ;-)
I don't like the people tagging feature, it's a bit Facebooky in my opinion. I hate Facebook.
I think it could be a real privacy issue, and would suggest making "Only You" as a default, so those who are into it can opt in. Not everybody is here all the time and they make come back a couple of weeks later and find their pics identified all over the place. Not good.
As for profile page, I can't say I look at my own very often. In fact, I had a bit of a trouble finding it...
What's that Photos from/Photos of all about? Does photos of randomly chooses one of your contacts?
Now, I will be taking bets on how many pages this thread will go on, how many people will want their money back and how many will demand they want the old profile page back.
[edit] Got the photo of part. Duh! Photos of people that are tagged.

Feels way to facebookish. Can we please have an option to hide it in our contacts box? That would just be lovely. Oh also how about you guys stop doing stuff to make it just like everyother social networking site and give us options that we actually want. For example threaded comments or the option of flickr on black.

It's *almost* what I've thought would make a good feature, but I think needs a privacy tweak.
If it were possible for a person to limit searches of "photos I'm in" to that persons Friends and Family, that'd be ideal. OK, so at the moment, it's identical to having a tag with a name in, that can be searched by anyone, but if there were privacy controls for who could search for a person (and, maybe, see who a person was in a public photo), then tags could be removed, privacy would be improved (at the moment I make-do by having an RSS feed of the tag-search of my name to check I'm happy with who tags me).
Otherwise, the two choices are either (a) anyone can find me in public photos, or (b) I select to remove myself from being tagged in ALL photos, meaning not even my Friends and Family can search for me. I'm pondering, but although I like the new feature a lot, without this privacy option I might have to go for option (b) and fully opt out of being tagged, which is a shame.
Hopefully this suggestion is a bit more constructive than the "NO NO NO" shouty ones (...not that there's anything wrong with those ;-)

Dave Smith, rlnv it sounds like what you want is to limit "who can add you to a photo" to "Friends and/or Family" over here... unless I'm misunderstanding your request.

So far, big thumbs up on the changes.
Suggestion: when tagging a person not among one's contacts, it would be great if flickr remembered it and offered that person (if matching) the next time(s) one searches.
For example, there could be a memory of the last 5-10 non-contacts one tagged in a photo. When adding a person tag, the default would be to search among one's contacts and that small set of recently tagged people.
