So this is an apology? You had it correct in the previous version, changed it for the new version. Realised you got it wrong when we the customers told you, and have now reverted to the old system?
However there is no actualy 'sorry' from you. Plus you even have the audacity to remind us how brilliant the new photo page is! "We brought significant performance and design improvements". I actually find this post very offensive, and very insensitive.
Flickr has acknowledged that the groups are messed up, and are conducting a survey of what to do, but you still insist on praising yourself and patting yourself on your back.
This Isn't a direct attack at this member of staff, I'm just gobsmacked that you think it's ok to mess things up, correct it, and not apologise. Grrrrrr.

Good steps towards fixing this issue. even though you don't admit it was really a problem.
Now, about attribution -- the new BBCode generator does not include the photographer's name as a text link. The old BBCode did.
Please fix BBCode to include a text link with the photographer's name, the same way BBCode used to on the old interface.

Good.
(Except for the overwhelmingly bad UX in general that has been dominating since May 13, one stumbling block following the other. Too sad what has become of this once innovative, flexible and fully, enjoyably functional site - and the great loyal community it had attracted, gathered and catered to.)

 austenhaines: What would be the point? Someone's still going to come along and tell them whatever they did sucked, and the site sucked, and everything sucks. Why do they owe you an apology exactly? I haven't heard you or anyone apologize to them for treating them like shit all the time. Talk about offensive and insensitive.
Treat people like people, then maybe they'll return the favor. Until then they don't owe you anything.

 Satish Mummareddy: Thank you for putting this back in a more prominent position. I hope the next thing on Flickr's to-do list will be to put our admin invites in a prominent position again, i.e. on the photopage, as promised.

This affects 99% of my photos. Thank you for rethinking your "own design interpretation" as inadequate for universal standards.

Some people are going to be miserable about everything in life, no matter what. There's no point in arguing with them.
As for the topic at hand, thanks to staff for addressing this piece of feedback.

I was glad to see this. It's the first time I can remember that Flickr made the license *more* prominent on the photopage; in the last several iterations, I complained that the license was becoming less obvious and moving further down the page, so I decided not to even complain about it this time.
Thanks, Flickr.
There are still 30-something missing features on the NPE though. :-/

Any improvement is very appreciated.
I too am anxious for admin invites to return to the photo page. I hope this is your next priority.

austenhaines: Sorry, I was overly harsh. I was just frustrated that here we have a situation where something on Flickr was changed for the worse, and people gave feedback on that, and Flickr listened to the feedback and improved something. And one of the first responses was that they weren't contrite enough when they presented the change to us.
That just seemed to me to be a short-sighted thing to do. A negative reinforcement of a positive action, in psych 101 terms. Because if that's all they're going to get, if no matter what we say and what they do on our say-so, if all we're going to do is demand more, to say it isn't good enough, to say they didn't do it nicely enough, or ask for forgiveness enough? Then eventually why would they bother to ever listen to us at all, ever again?
There are a lot of things that need fixing and improving on this site. I want staff to keep listening to us, and making changes for us. So I think it serves us absolutely nothing to slap them down when they actually do something we asked, just because it didn't come with an apology.

The Searcher:
Hi. Your right, I was too negative, on something which, yes, is a positive, so I take some of that back. I guess I was wound up and should have thought more before commenting. :-)
So I do apologise to the staff in this thread if I was harsh. And I know they are working hard to fix stuff.
Will buy you an old fashioned flickr doughnut sometime The Searcher. :-)

Matthew Almon Roth:
Thank You!
It's really, really good to see the copyright information right there where it belongs, near the photographer's name.
The frustration level has been high, hence the harshness. It's kind of hard to feel phased out with one's preferences and user habits. The changes have broken so much - both these of last year and the NPE. The most painful part, I'd say, is the presentation of the comments right now. It might well be the final dealbreaker for many when the possibility to flee in other languages disappears. (Positive change I've noticed: only one click to display all comments, no more batches of 20.)
