My groups are now showing 12 photos on the front page.
Is that part of the plan or a bug?

Given the new way to add photos, we were concerned that a member would "own" the glimpse of the pool on the home page. This way, more photos are visible and I think it balances out the amount of discussion stuff.

I'd at least like a way to turn it back to one line, or perhaps adjust automatically depending on the number of new photos. Or (and I always thought this would be an ideal situation) an option to show one photo per user in the glimpse, like in 'from your contacts' on the home page.
In places like the API group, you've got weeks-old photos pushing the much more relevant discussions almost entirely off the page. It's a bit of an edge case, I realise, but it's still a bit frustrating.

So, I wanted to see if the nifty new add to pool thingie was intelligent enough to know not to show me things that cannot be added to a group (like the one group I run that does not take videos since we cannot challenge with them until you enable embedding), and it seems that the vids indeed do not appear in my window for this group. However, I navigated to my video set, and I got a pop-up XML parsing error.
Want a screencap or is that enough info to go on, and am I correct in that the window only returns content the group accepts?

It would be interesting to see the entire list of the "Groups from our Sponsors" rather than repeatedly reloading to get it. And that's a nice touch dropping the heading down to the bottom when it's hidden, as well.

zyrcster: We show only videos for video-only groups, and photos for photo-only groups currently. I'll test with a video-only set and see if I can repro the XML parsing error and investigate - if not, I'll ask for that screenshot. :) Thanks.

^ It would be awesome to be able to intelligently filter based on all the other metadata also (eg., is the photo in N other groups already, is it restricted when the group only allows moderate content, etc.) except that would be incredibly expensive/slow for each thumbnail we want to show. I think we have a decent balance here with the search/filter tools and list of groups/sets, etc.
(Edit): Re: XML error: Looks like viewing video-only sets on the "add photos" for a photo-only group is an exception we didn't cover, since the API is returning results only for things with photos. I'll look at a fix for this; good find! Thanks.

Not a bug, but I really loathe the two lines of images. It would be much better to have a choice in this matter - show 1 line, 2 lines, etc. It's definitely not "balanced" this way; just the opposite, in fact.
Just my 2 cents!

I agree - would be much nicer to have the option to go back to one line of photos - the two lines looks clumsy in my group

zyrcster: I'm pushing a fix now for that XML error. In the event you hit a video-only set when adding to a photos-only group, you will now simply have 0 items returned. (Maybe we'll add some messaging to make it more clear.)

Geez! People will whine about any change, won't they? These are great additions to the site. The reasoning behind having two lines is spot on. Plus, I like being able to see more images at once on the front page. Great job, Flickr Staff!

I guess I'm in the minority (as usual) but I like the look of two lines of photos on the group page. It's nice to see more, especially since I know a lot of folks (myself, included) don't always check out the group pool pages, but rather check in on groups for the discussions. This way I get to see more than I normally would.
As for pushing older discussions off the page, I suppose I'm also in the minority on this, but I routinely click the link to see all the discussions and page through the discussions, so having two lines of photos doesn't affect thread topics for me.

These people are working hard to try and give people something new and then you have those who just come on here to complain and protest, it's not worth anyones time! It's funny too, to see that the people who are complaining are ADULTS lol, I'm 16 years old and would expect that kind of complaints from kids my age not grown adults!!!!

what is the role of a moderator with a group pool open in organizer? do they still have the ability to remove photos? I ask because when I opened my group pool that I moderate, I could remove my photos from the group.
edit- when I look at the group pool in the traditional way, I still see X's underneath photos and can remove photos. Just not in the organizer?

The two lines will make checking what's going into smaller or slower-moving groups easier. And eventually I'll get used to it (I sometimes find it hard to focus on the multiple lines, but I'll get over it). And that "add photos" is fabulous, especially for people who don't do the group thing a lot or for new users. I think people were intuitively looking for that on the groups.

The two rows of photos looks fine to me, though an option to return to a single line would be nice.
More useful though would be the ability to add tags in the Group Organizr.

In the last year there have been some great new controls for admins to help curate groups. Thanks! I have no bugs to report, but I would like to suggest that there is still at least one big feature that is missing, which is to edit the order of the images. I realize this can be done more easily now with the multi-page queue before the images aer added to the pool, but allowing the admins to edit the pool would be another great tool. I know there are many people in one of my groups (one of the biggest on Flickr) that is clamoring for this. Any chance of this happening? Thanks!
Maybe this post should go into a feature request forum. Is there one?

Re the Add to the group part -- I really like that it tells me my upload limit, and how much I have left in that, and that I can narrow my search. But it's also showing me and allowing me to select images that are already in the group pool. It would be nice if it didn't do that.

They asked for reports of "issues/bugs." I'm sure the staff actually wanted to know what users thought.
Some users thought two lines of thumbnails was too much. This isn't complaining; it's responding to a request. Right? Okay then.
But yes, for some groups, two lines DOES look like too much. Not always. Depends on the purpose of the group. So a choice would be nice, but not necessary.
Also, in Firefox (at least for me) the "add to group" function is really slow. But that's fine. I only clicked on it to test it; normally I would use the regular organizr function or on each photo's page to add to groups.
Thanks.

I have to confess I'm a little confused about the 'Admin Organizer' feature.
Uhm, what does it do please?
I mean, what does it do that I can't do with the 'x' next to the photos in the pool?
Or is this just the basic roll-out, with more features to follow?

You can multi-select and then click the [x] on one photo and it will remove all the selected ones.

The new Organizer Deleter function incorporates a bit of a 'steeev's warn & delete GM script'-like functionality.
(I can send a flickr mail with my deletion.)
Ok, now I have a request: Please could you include a 'save this message for future use' feature like steeev has?
It's quite likely that any admin doing any deleting is going to use the same 'your shot was deleted because...' message every time.
Thanks.

As far as it goes this looks like a good change. I'm not a big fan of the "one design fits all" approach that Flickr uses, though, because "one design" really never fits all of what can be done (and is being done) with groups. These changes you've made will work for the majority of groups, I'm sure, but they don't help (and possibly hurt) other groups.
I know, for example, that the new "add photo" interface won't work with the Utata group as they don't allow multi-photo submissions to the pool. I admin The Common Threads Project group which requires that photos be tagged (we use machine tags to organize photos into sets). While the new "add photos" interface will work with this group, it doesn't help because there's no feature for tagging the photos you've selected.
edit to add: It's not really clear what your intention was behind re-using the Organizer interface to allow group admins to delete multiple photos. As has already been mentioned by others above, what you've provided to admins looks like the Organizer but doesn't act like it and there's no clear indication on how the admin is supposed to use this new unOrganizer interface. It would have been more consistent to use a "delete selected" button rather than the control normally associated with deleting a single photo.
If you intend to add more things to this interface (e.g., the ability for admins to reorganize or tag photos in the pool) you're really asking for trouble by implementing the multi-delete capability like you have. It would be way too easy to, in the process of selecting multiple photos --e.g., for tagging-- accidentally click on the little "x" in a photo you meant to select and delete the whole bunch.

Given that it's far from universal (there are waves of posts about it when it's widespread), that's not likely. You might want to check the possibilities in the top post of the thread called "Flickr Is Slow for Me".

I like seeing two lines of photos on the main group pages in the groups I am an admin, a moderator, and member of. And I like that there is a link saying how many discussions in the group and also seeing Post a new topic at the top before the six most recent discussions instead of scrolling down and clicking on that link. Even the option of just displaying your photos in group pools, if you have photos in groups, when you load a group into Organizer.

@getthebubbles: I'm not sure I completely understand the question. But I'll try and answer...
We made changes to organizr to allow group moderators to quickly remove photos from the groups the administer. They can remove their photos and the photos of anyone who has submitted, in case anyone got carried away and tried to add a few too many things.
Let us know if you're not seeing all the group photos in organizr view.

@shanan, for groups that I moderate, if I open the group in the Organizr (using the new link), there are NO [x]s on any photo (except my own). So there is no way to remove any photos from the pool.
IE, I can see all the pool photos, but can't remove any but my own. it's not working.

Yup, I can confirm that.
Groups I moderate: only my photos in that pool have Xs on them in the Organizer, and I can only drag/drop my own out of the main window to make them go away.

While I would like the option of one or two rows of photos, my chief complaint in gap between the last row and the discussion. Why is there so much space for the "» More" link?
This gap means I have to scoll down to see if new comments have been made in the discussions. It's an added and unnessary step, imo.
Or, maybe I should just buy a bigger monitor... :P

In Flickr Ideas where this is no pool there is still a line at the top of the group page that says "Group Pool ( 0 items | Add photos or video | Open this group in Organizr )". Can that be removed please for groups with no pool?
I can't say I'm too keen on the two lines and would prefer a setting that allows admins to choose whether to show 1, 2 or no lines on that page.

just adding my support for the one photo per user (like "from my contacts") display option.

.........but don't you think an option to show one per member would defeat the object of seeing what is new to the pool (at a glance) ?
Extreme scenario I know, but there could be up to 60 new additions (from the twelve latest posters) that you might miss if in a hurry ;-)
Makes complete sense in the contacts view. Not so in the pool preview.

Oooh, I think I previously posted in the wrong thread...(sorry!)
Hi.
I'm an admin for a flickr group. Only since last night (24 hours ago), I've found there's a serious SLOWDOWN on clicking on a pic. I'm trying to check photos for comments, etc, and it takes about a minute for a pic to download. (Same problem clicking "back". I just end up closing out, and re-entering flickr).No probs with anything else I have running.
I'm pretty sure this has to do with the new improvements, 'cause I haven't had any problems before..
I applaud your efforts to improve the site though...
(Hope the problem will be rectified soon!)

i'm finding the two rows of photos really annoying for some groups.
in groups with slow discussions or no discussions, it is a big improvement .. but in groups with active discussions it is extremely annoying - as every time i enter a group, i have to scroll.
so i would second the idea of letting admins customize "1 line or 2" from the group's admin section.
"All people do on here is complain and complain, seriously people its one more line of photos, please move on and get a life! ... it's not worth anyones time!"
i don't think anyone has been whining or insulting flickr staff .. simply giving them feedback.
an extra line of photos is a significant addition, since unlike a simple cosmetic change it forces people to scroll in order to check on new discussions.
as for it not being worth anyone's time, i'll probably spend much more time this week scrolling as a result of these changes than i've spent making this post.

Striatic - You're correct. The two line thing is something that can be aggravating, and it is based on the sort of group you are viewing.
A group I run is very active socially, with a monthly show and photo walks. However, the images in the pool are almost an afterthought for us. Our group is all about getting together and the discussions in our group. As such, it is super-annoying to see two rows of images suddenly thrust on the page. Now, you are forced to scroll down to see the discussions - the heart of the group itself.
I also run a separate group that is mostly about the images themselves. In this case, the two lines seems like no big deal.
Obviously, there needs to be a choice for the admins - one or two lines.

Wow, I truly didn't think anyone would complain about this, but this IS Flickr...I don't use Flickr for discussions AT ALL. Well, almost never. They're a pleasant addition to my groups, but most of the dozens I'm in have few or no discussions. I've thought having only one line of photos was a terrible waste of the page, with that huge gap before the discussions. But I can see how groups that are discussion-heavy and photo-light might want a different option, so it'd be great to offer it.
Anyway, I'm excited because I've answered a Flickr survey twice, and both times I begged them to show more photos on groups' pages, and they changed it!
I haven't tried "Add Photos" yet, but the other group-related change I meant to suggest...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a way to ORGANIZE our groups, so we don't have to scroll through a massive list if we're adding from our photostream. I'd LOVE to be able to categorize food groups, portrait groups, Chicago groups, other city groups, national/int'l groups, etc. I wish there was an option to organize groups on our profile page, too.

Since Flickr allows us to have discussion-only Flickr groups (by setting the Disable Posting Altogether radio button), it would seem that they recognize that not all groups on Flickr are about imagery.
Having a "Display (0, 1, 2) Rows" option would be very useful to accommodate the variety of uses people make of groups.

Yes, please do have something done for groups with moderators. I am a moderator of seven groups and I am unable to remove photos from the group pools of those groups I moderate, including the photos I post in those groups. Right now, I can only remove my own photos from all groups I belong to, as well as remove photos that are not within group guidelines for groups I am an admin for.

Chrisser "I am unable to remove photos from the group pools of those groups I moderate"
Moderators have always had the ability to remove photos from group pools. They still do. That has not changed. Go to the group pool and click any little x beside a photo. That will remove it.
What has changed is that admins have a new way to remove photos, via organizer from the group home page.
Individuals can also remove their photos via organizer from the group home page. Moderators do not have access to the new group tool except as individuals.

It is quite a nifty improvemement to a degree for group admins but seems too limited.
Its ok for a fast removal of photos not fitting group but in more advanced groups the thumbs in organizer are too tiny to make much of a judgement call with. It only serves groups such as "red" to remove "blue" for example but if these groups had moderation on ...like they cared about group content in the first place...it really serves nobody.
Not having names displayed is a huge drawback. I just had one of our biggest posters quit multi groups because i mailed him asking him to comment within group a bit. Fine he quit but he left all his photos in group, so imagine the labour removing 500 pics in a 20k pic group..... names are a must and do note "show your own photos".... "show xxxx photos" with a search function is whats needed as only the top 5 can be viewed easily at present.
The best tool groups could possibly have is see who is commenting and using group links. If admins could click a member and get this data it would do wonders for weeding out dumpers and deadbeats.
Doing a photo stat breakdown on major images recently i was quite shocked to see how very little views were generated by groups i assumed would generate lots. Open groups are not working at all with returns in the area of 1 view per 5 images in general open groups.
As admin you can say post one comment one, but theres no way to check that and nobody does comment much from general groups or even views it seems. The trend for award and forced comment proliferation is directly fueled by a lack of information to admins about whats going on in their group. Short of opening every image and manually compiling data theres no way to see.
Some smaller non award/forced comment groups serve the group concept well but in general the larger groups serving the vast Flcikr population are a dismal failure generating interaction. People simply won't comment or even visit the groups they post to from organizer. Its all very mindless and comes down to immunity to accountability as admins are currently blind.
We seem to have evolved the group concept from its base idea of interactive input to one where the poster assumes his pic is entering center field at the superbowl and the crowds are cheering. Truth is there is no crowd even looking , just janitors ( admins) sweeping the bleechers after a game that never happened.

Moderators do not have access to the new group tool except as individuals.
Which is an oversight, apparently.

I'm getting really, really fed up ( deleted what I really wanted to say) having to wait for ages for photos to load up to comment, sometimes not at all and having to come out and go on again. I'm on flickr for hours every day and now it's even longer. Please can we go back to how it was or FIX THIS THING !
I'm not complaining about new stuff, I don't care frankly if it's 2,3 or 4 lines of pics, I just want flickr to work....FAST.

When you create a set, how does the upload determine which of my photo's appears as the one that identifies it as a set...my last set was of winter, yet it's got the picture of my father's car, but I can't work out how to alter which photo I want as the main set picture.
It seems to me using the flickr upload tool that it's always the first one, which is a pain because unlike Facebook I cannot seem to change the photo of a Set, or it's just not intuitive, see with FB they have an option a checkbox that denotes which photo I can have as the one that highlight's the set, doesn't necessarily have to be the first one I uploaded, can't you enhance this to allow this or make it much much user friendly?
Also can you add more tools to your site to allow more creative layout's if someone come to your profile, just seeing the last 12 photo's is very old news, and the other layout options are exactly what they are limited...
In addition to this when you view a set most people these days have Broadband I'd like to have the option when I reivew the sets to see all photo's within them instead of page1, page2, page 3 etc, I know your sending me thumbnails which are small on bandwidth, but would actually save time instead of sending multiple requests it's all displayed at once.
And finally if this is an enhancement area, if not I'm sorry but I didn't see where else I can post this, but Yahoo map's is such a pain and slow as hell, compared to GoogleMaps that's like comparing a Skoda with a Ferrari, why is this so slow, makes me not want to bother with your GeoTag which at first I thought was kind of cool for the travelling I do but now becomes a chore as I would have to waste a good hour plus waiting for maps to download...

The changes have made all photo pages load with the slowness of molasses !
No slowness until these "improvements" were implemented.
Please remove the improvements until you have debugged them !

, werewegian, Allan.....take your pick ;-)
My comment was directed at you and quoting what was said by someone else.
Obviously a non too successful attempt at humour :[
Those of us that expressed a dislike or mild negative feeling towards the double layer of thumbs were chastised by the young fellow (aged 16) I quoted, who noted it was adults that were 'complaining'.
You also expressed a dislike of that view, as did I.
Hence my comment.
Guess I thought adults would have understood the joke :|

CarlosVanVegas -- Not that it's on topic for this thread, but there are instructions on how to change the cover image for a set, in the FAQ. It can be done any time after upload.

I'm not having any problems with Flickr becoming slower now that these changes have been implemented.
...I just loathe not having a choice on how many lines of images to display. ;-P

Check the "Flickr is slow for me" thread -- there's a current IE issue.

"Groups from our Sponsors"
I was under the impression once we bought our pro account that advertisements were gone and we did not have to be subjected to things like "Groups from our Sponsors." I think it is pretty cheesy to have this now for all to see.
I dont like it at all.

Awesome feature, then, incredibly useful.
They asked for reports of "issues/bugs." I'm sure the staff actually wanted to know what users thought.
I'm guessing you are an adult.
