Default Who uses Flickr?

Do you like the new functions? I don't, when you view the different sizes you are not shown the HTML code for that size, that is on a seperate page that does not show you how big that size would be.

Does anyone else find that a stupid way of doing it? I like on Ipernity how you view the size, think "hmmm yeah that size would be appropriate to post on DPS", then copy the code at the bottom. Flickr used to be like that, how long ago did they change and WTF for? To make it harder? Cause they are idiots?

I don't have any problems with it.

(1) I like the new functions
(2) I do not agree that is a stupid way of doing it. Just do it from the main picture page.
(3) They changed it a few months ago. It was very noticable.
(4) The pics look a lot better on the pic page and the Larger pics look better on black.
(5) It is easier to use, you can do it from the main pic page.
(6) They are not idiots, they are a sucessfull business.

What does WTF mean?

Yesterday I tried to post a couple of pics on DPS for the first time in months. I'd forgotten the procedure for getting them down from Flickr but unfortunately found that the description on DPS no longer matched what you see on Flickr. Perhaps some bright senior member could revise the instructions -please.

Totally agree. I think all the new functions are awesome and they just make it easier to use the website.
The drop-down menu for html and bb codes is great (before there was no bb code!), if you used to post images before on any forum other than DPS, you'd know what I mean.

Adding the functions to the main page is fine but why did they take the code from the View sizes page? Surely it could have been in both locations?
