Is anyone else having trouble with the menus on Flickr? The only ones that work for me are Create and Upload. All the rest are just text, so if I want to see my groups, I have to type it in the address bar, I can't just click on Groups. I am using Chrome and it has always worked flawlessly until recently.
-
It's working fine for me but I'm using Firefox.
-
The dropdown menus are pretty standard css, so although unlikely, it's possible that you recently installed an addin (or contracted a weird virus?) that is disabling css dropdowns.
-
no problems here. chrome user too
-
Works for me too with Firefox.
A rule of thumb: IE=trouble.
Even Microsoft is working on a replacement for it. It's codename Spartan and uses an interface similar to Win8's Metro UI.
But for now, Firefox or Chrome are the better options. I use Firefox because its open source and frequently fixed.
-
Hmmm... it seems that my browser was adding an empty <body> tag to the page (???) and it was 'covering' those menus so I couldn't click on them. I opened the developer window and deleted it and now everything is fine. That's really bizarre.
-
Oh well...
Do you run greasemonkey scripts?
Sometimes they stop working and do strange things.
-
blah blah blah blah blah blah uses an interface similar to Win...
Stop right there. I still won't use it.
-
Me neither... My logic usually goes like: it comes from Microsoft? no good can come from this.

I was checking that out the other day. When you click on an image it just gives options of things to do with it like edit or add to an album but it doesn't enlarge the photo for viewing. Not sure how it's an improvement over the photo stream or what the point of it is.
-
I like the option as I often post in the stream out of order. It also allowed me to correct a few incorrect date meta. But I find it strange option as I thought they wanted a more "unified view". grouping is often not correct, but my main concern is 'date' and not roll.

Yeah, I looked at it a little, but especially for film photos, it is counter-productive because I can scan and load more than one "roll" per day, but Flickr is too dumb to know even that b/w and color photos probably don't come from the same "roll". It is just a group by date, but like Bryan said, it doesn't really bring much to the table.

It is designed with EXIF data in mind... that's why almost everything I send to flickr gets pushed through AnalogExif first.

Is there any way to change the EXIF data when it's already in Flickr?
-
Not any way that I'm aware of...

Thanks for the tip! I'm downloading it right now. It'll mostly help ME remember what film, dev scheme, etc that I used. I assume you can edit in a batch (ie, all pictures from a roll)?
-
I find AnalogExif a bit buggy, but it's what I use and it does indeed work.. most of the time.
-
I'm running it on Win7 starter and it's not that bad on the bug side. I mean nothing I can't live with. The worse it did was refuse to start on the first click...
And yes it does batch processing. If it didn't I wouldn't even have bothered with it!
The hard thing with it is setting everything up the first time. After that, it's just a matter of clicking entries in the list.
-
the main problem I have is batch processing. Sometimes it skips some files and does not embed the data or only half the data gets embedded.
-
Well that makes it pretty unuseable then. What SW version and OS are you running TK?
-
I think that stripping out all the information first helps... at least you don't get remnants of infomation.
I did notice that but thought it was just my computer. But it does work just fine most of the time.
-
The main photo machine I'm using it on is a Windows 7 64bit SP1 machine with a AMD Athlon II X4 3ghz ish CPU, 4GB ram on a Gigabyte board.
The missed files, I just re select the file and all the settings and it seems to work. It's just large batches of files. Every once in a while, when selecting a file the preview window also crashes the program.
