I've given it a go, but still find it really difficult, I can't get used to it. I hate the shouty front page with loads of massive photos clammering for attention. I have really slow broadband connection, which more or less freezes my laptop when i try and open flickr at home, as it tries to download all the images, it's really frustrating. I'm finding the change to be an overall negative one, and it appears I'm not alone. A lot of the groups I go to seem to be getting quieter.
Not sure what to do when my Pro account expires.
BT has promised 'superfast' broadband 'within 3 years' which might help.
