Doesn't pro allow much higher res though? I can put up full 36MP images on mine... in fact, I've put up a couple of 80MP images with no problem.
Thanks, its all hidden away but still there.

Whats the difference between a Free, Ad Free, and Doublr account?
There are three kinds of accounts to choose from at Flickr, and all of them are awesome in their own way.
Free:
1 Terabyte of photo and video storage
Upload photos of up to 200MB per photo
Upload 1080p HD videos of up to 1GB each
Video playback of up to 3 minutes each
Upload and download in full original quality
Ad Free:
$49.99 per year
All the benefits of a free account
No ads in your browsing experience
Doublr:
$499.99 per year
2 Terabytes of photo and video space
All the benefits of a free account
Here is what you used to get with Pro:
Unlimited photo uploads (50MB per photo)
Unlimited video uploads (90 seconds max, 500MB per video)
The ability to show HD Video
Unlimited storage
Unlimited bandwidth
Archiving of high-resolution original images
The ability to replace a photo
Post any of your photos or videos in up to 60 group pools
View count and referrer statistics
Limitation of maximum image size available to others
Ad-free browsing and sharing
Adfree is certainly not worth it when you can get free adblockers.
So looks like 'Free' gives 200MB per image.
As a long time Pro user I have no idea what's happening, the FAQs really aren't clear. My current sub doesn't expire until June 2014, but they seem to be 'offering' some sort of ultimatum to go free by August 20th.
As far as I can tell I can continue as a Pro with stats, unlimited uploads but 10mb file limits, or go free and have no stats, 1tb uploads, ads and 200mb file limits. Or pay $50 to remove ads, but still get no stats...?!
i know i dont get it either..
"Eligible Pro members have the option to switch to a Free account until 8/20/2013."
but
"If your Pro account expires, it will revert to a free account with a storage limit of 1 Terabyte."
:shrug:
I wonder how long until they'll reduce service when using an ad blocker. I know I would if I was giving away a free service, which any sane person knows isn't a free service at all, it's paid for by data collections and ads.
Probably not long, heh! I'll use an adblocker for as long as I can though.
Just noticed someone has said that existing pro members can renew at the price they started. If I'd had known that I wouldn't have cancelled my pro account. NOWHERE on flickrs website did I see that information.
That's the size of the image as a file... not it's res. That means if you have a 200 megabyte image, you can upload it.... not a 200 megapixel image. If you did upload a 200 megapixel image (or even a 200 megabyte image), it would be resized to the maximum size on a free account.. which is 1600 pixels or something like that. With pro, it won't and you can display it and post links to the full resolution should you wish to do so. That's how it used to be anyway.. whether that is still the case I have no idea. If you have a free account... you will be able to test it yourself. Upload a full resolution JPEG and see if you have the "original" resolution option available.

You have a Flickr Pro Account. It will renew on 19th July, 2013.
I really still cant get my head around what is happening with the Pro accounts. I took out a Pro account about a month ago, on a 3 month subscription. In my account it says
So, is it going to renew for another 3 months? Could I choose to subscribe for 1 year on my renewal day? Will I still be paing the same as I paid for the previous 3 months? Are they going to force us over to te 'Free' account eventually, and if so, do free accounts have stats etc or will I need to pay for 'ad free' to get stats?
Very confusing :bang:
However, I do like the new design.
I'm just trying to get my head around what is going to happen to my pro account....
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer said Theres no such thing as Flickr Pro today because [with so many people taking photographs] theres really no such thing as professional photographers anymore
That should go down well
I've literally just signed up for pro, can I get a refund?
Does the new adfree option allow replacing pictures, or for viewing stats?
No, it's literally just removing adverts at twice the price of a pro account.
Flickr staff have posted on their forums that they're looking at a way to allow people on non-renewing pro accounts to switch to the renewing account.
Well, the new service makes far more demands on my miserable internet connection than it can provide. It is now virtually unusable at 800kbps.
Cancelled my pro account (rarely look at the stats) and installed adblocker for chrome. Job done.
