If you notice any asterisks in the titles of my Flickr albums, it's because I'm marking them safe from the Great Flickr Purge of 2019. 

And simply adding asterisks is supposed to protect them from the purge? I'm still going to delete a lot of them, no matter what.

[formulanone]

People use unattributed photos all the time.  I think the only true way to stop people from using unattributed photos is to not share them to the internet.

That's why I carry a hammer to bust someone's fingers the moment I catch them do it. As you can well imagine, I don't get to use the hammer.

So I just put most of my photos out there for consumption. If they feel like playing nice, then good for me and good for you; I've found about 100+ examples where someone (or somebot?) actually went through the trouble of correct attribution. A few people have even contacted me by e-mail, even though they don't truly have to ask me. The fact it made someone feel a little better to use it makes me feel good, in a way.

Otherwise, I can't get too bothered about some road, sign, car, and cloud photos. The few photos of my kids and family, that's where the line gets crossed. I don't see any season why anyone I don't know would want them, and I leave copyrights on them. They way modeling rights are established - as opposed to some inanimate object in the public view - I'm not too worried about them appearing anywhere in a questionable manner.

It means I downloaded them to save them somewhere else?  Sorry if that was too difficult to figure out.

I'm down to 1,301, and I'm losing space on my PC. Speaking of which, Microsoft wants to add another shitty update this year that's supposed to crowd up your PC.

Added some more Kansas photos from Augusta in 2015 and of Cherokee County along US 69 ALT and K-66 (the old Route 66).

I'm adding a lot of photos from my Minnesota trip a couple years ago. Somehow I missed posting them at the time.

Got an email today saying that my Flickr Pro account would be automatically renewed next month for $100, at two years at $50 each. Maybe I missed something when Flickr changed hands, but I didn't think the price would be going up that much.

I'll be deactivating my Pro account. I already have all my photos backed up locally, and will be moving them to the Millennium Highway Facebook page until such time as I can get motivated to upload them all to the millenniumhwy.net Web site (I've been using Flickr since 2013 instead of uploading pics directly to the site.) This means that for the foreseeable future, any Flickr links on the roadtrips page on my site (which admittedly hasn't been updated with links for a few years) will probably be dead.

In the meantime, if anyone can recommend any good tools to use to generate photo albums and HTML pages of photos, I'm all ears. I was using a combination of iPhoto and GoLive to produce and edit the pages, but that proved to be too clunky, which is why I switched to Flickr.

Also, any tips on downloading photos from Flickr would be great, as I may go ahead and download all my albums just to make sure I have another copy saved somewhere other than the backup I already have.

The price was $30 per year for a limited time and $50 per year thereafter. They didn't change the price from what they said it was before.

I don't know what happened with Flickr, but overnight and into this morning I got something like three dozen emails saying someone had followed me on Flickr. None of the account names looked legit. (sample name: lipikaparvinp2p)

Wonder what's up?

Bots, they have been trying to follow my account for months.

About two years ago, I had something similar on Flickr; having very few photos and yet loads of sudden followers is a warning sign. All were obliterated in a few days' time.

(If you get a photo to make the front page of "Explore", you'll suddenly get a few more followers over the next 48 hours.)

[roadman65]

I have my photos from June's road trip I done from my Louisiana visit of the trip.  I got all of I-20 from I-220 west to the Texas Border as well as all of I-49 from US 71 north of Texarkana to Shreveport as well.

Flickr's regressive 2013 redesign and terms of service changes left a very bad taste in my mouth (as did the 2015 changes, and the 2017 changes...), and I haven't used the site regularly in years.  But my account is still active, and I do still use it to post something new bi-millennially.

Anyone want 25% off Flickr Pro? Here's a coupon I can't use because I already renewed...

Could have to do with the fact the site keeps changing owners, in 2017 the owner switched from Yahoo! (2005-17) to a company called Oath (2017-18).

[US71]

I've added a few more photos to my Flickr page. A few shots of I-49 construction, plus a couple more entries to the "Off the Wall" album. With the weather starting to warm up, I'm hoping to get some more road time and more photos.

[D-Dey65]

Flickr cancelled my password after the expiration date from last year, and they won't let me make a new one... and they've still been sending me e-mails trying to get me to get a pro-account.
