What IS Flickr anyway? Obviously it has something to do with photos; I don't want to lose mine in Y! Photos

My only experience is to send photos to Yahoo photos. That's IT. Please start from the beginning regarding Flickr. Recommend free options for beginners. Signed, Photo Idiot.

it's just a website off of yahoo that you can upload photos to. you can make them private for only yourself to see, available for only your contacts (friends you invite) to see, or public which is available for everyone to see and search. you can search other people's photos too. there's groups on there where you can enter your pictures for others to see, or for contests.





im not really sure what else you want to know, so i dont know if that helped.
Reply:when you logged into flickr you'll be able to upload all your photo's just like yahoo.but you can still put them in albums.


you can go to there website and get more info on it





www.flickr.com


you can also use photobucket also


www.photobucket,com





i know this isn't much info but you can check these sites out


and they can tell you more about it or someone else with more knowledge than me can tell you.
Reply:You can go to http://flickr.com and see what it's like before you migrate your photos there. The free account allows you to display 200 photos and you have a limit of how much you can upload each month. When you go over 200, they start hiding the older ones and then they hope you upgrade to a paid account.
Reply:as far as i knew flickr was a horse ... i am not up2date with flickr the proggie, but i can tell you this .. BEFORE YOU TRANSFER YOUR PHOTOS MAKE SURE YOUR PRIMARY / ALTERNATE EMAIL IS UP2DATE on the profile account where your pics are kept as this is where the confirmation email will go after your transfer.
