No Flickr after May 25, 2018!

Posted on

Sorry for being away for a while. I was in Jordan for some medical treatment (for my wife)…

FlickrIcon Just a quick note about an old post of mine: Save storage space on your blog, Flickr has agreed to be acquired by SmugMug. Thus, I’m not sure if my old post will be valid in regard to Flickr point!

I’m not sure too if I’m going to accept that my pictures being moved there. For me, this is a big loss!

If this resonated with you, let’s stay in touch. No spam.

    Oh no, I hope she’s ok?!
    Yes, I too am worried about the Flickr / SmugMug thing. I use Flickr quite a lot and am not sure how it’ll work in Smug.
    Best wishes to you and your family.

      Thank you Jessica for your kind words and wishes. She is doing better. Things about Flickr/SmugMug are not clear till now. They keep saying that nothing will change in the “foreseen future”!!! I don’t know how to interpret this!

    Blessings and hugs to you and yours. I don’t use Flickr so that is one less thing I have to be concerned about.

      Thank you for your kind words my friend. Yes, leaving what one is used to is not an easy thing 🙂

        May I suggest ‘duplicating’ your photos on Flickr, at least until you’re sure what you want to do? I did that with my WordPress posts and started afresh on Medium, then decided I’d keep both going because they’re different platforms. Perhaps that could work for you as well?

      2. Mohamad Al Karbi Avatar

        Yes for sure. I have additional backup on Google Photos that I’ll keep till things become clear. SmugMug might do something good after all – who knows! Thanks for the advice

        I hope this turns into an opportunity rather than a problem. -hugs-

    Believe it or not, I still haven’t figured out what to do with Flickr, or if I even want to.

      Thank you Ellen, I can relate to you here. We are waiting with plan B in mind 🙂
