Unhappy I'm so bummed.....

.....that so many people use Flickr to post their pics on here. My company blocks it as a hosting site and I can't see 85% of the pictures posted! Arg. Now I must wait until I get home.

I feel your pain! I can only comment on pics that are uploaded directly to DPS.
But hey, we should be working! lol!

I can relate, although flickr isn't blocked at my company, yet; some of the others that people use are and I have to wait to go home to view them.

Fortunately I don't have that problem as I look after all the IT for the company (even though it is not my actual job). It's just as well as I really don't have a great deal of time at home to browse.

Ditto. Isn't it frustrating when you can see how it was taken complete with the Exif and numerous comments after saying that its great but you can't actuall see whats great.
Or that theres a before and after and the after is much much better and you have to just imagine.

Hey ho anyway must be off, those shelves don't stack themselves

If your company blocks Flickr, they would probably take a dim view of you spending much time on DPS anyway. You might be better to get the job done and get home; meanwhile, consider permissive internet access as a perk to look for when searching for your next job!
