Bye, bye Flickr Free Accounts.
« on: November 06, 2018, 04:13:09 pm »
Nothings free in America anymore. Not even on photo hosting site Flickr. Well, it still is...........sort of.
For those who have and use a Flickr Free Account to host/share photos and videos, Flickr is changing their policies for that type of account. Starting in January next year, you will be limited to no more than 1000 photos for that account type. Any more than that and they will be deleted.

First, it was Photobucket screwing people over long ago with their policy changes. Now it's Flickr. I wonder who's next?

Good thing you can make more accounts for free, if you manage to hit the cap.

Thanks for the heads up.

I use Flickr for things on Furtopia. So far I have only a dozen photos there.
Honestly, I was interested in having my home computer host a ftp for my files.  But I don't know how yet.

Ditto. Now I use SoFurry, and it seem to work so far.
