Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: iPernity

For over a year, I've been anticipating that my views would pass 104,241, especially before iPernity imposed the 200 photo limit. Thanks everyone. Whether I'll continue to contribute under such a limit is another question, however. iPernity is my favorite photo sharing service, and this move was unexpected. It has caused me to lose access to the vast majority of my contributions, in addition to hiding most of my albums, making organization of subsequent uploads difficult. Basically, years of work have been mostly negated. Anyway, I shouldn't dwell on the negative. This is, after all, still not Flickr. :-)

For comparison, I'm also posting a shot of my iPernity stream for comparison. I still have a problem with iPernity's hiding away the photostream views under You>Your Visitors, but having badly displayed views is better than having no access to them. In general, if it had been up to me the original design would have been developed rather than being replaced by the current design, which is illogical and hard to navigate. However, it is still vastly better than Flickr as it now is. R.I.P. Flickr, I guess, although I'm going to maintain my stream there so that people can still find me.

When I attempted a Flickr upload today, my first in awhile, I found this mess that Flickr has become. Frankly, a lot of disreputable websites have far better designs. I could say for the hundredth time that whoever redesigned Flickr should be fired, but indeed Flickr is constantly being redesigned, and each time it becomes less usable for members, more chaotic in layout, and less functional for visitors. As of this writing, in addition to the unbelievably bad layout that you can see above, you can no longer find out your photostream views (actually iPernity has also blundered into making your photostream views hard to access, as I'll explain later), and administration of your groups is next to impossible too as there's no indication of what's been posted since you left (actually that problem is close to a year old already). Listing all of the problems with Flickr as it exists now would take a blog post, and I have considered it. This is my now disasterously disorganized Flickr photostream. If I could redesign this, I would, but apparently unlike iPernity, Flickr/Yahoo don't want you doing this. My photos are displayed in such a jumbled mess now that I've decided I'm no longer going to use Flickr. I can't even find out my total stream views anymore. I was hoping to someday hit 100,000 views, but now if I ever reach it I'll never know. What a disaster for what used to be the best photosharing site on the internet.
