Flickr is the best photosharing website there is. The main thing making it the best is the community. It is also where I've been posting more of my photos; which you can see <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/manzabar/" title="Photos from Manzabar" rel="nofollow">here</a>. 2. Pretty much. The people most offended by these changes have my sympathies but I tend to view the controversy as mostly nonsense. For those photos which got pulled over to Yahoo!'s Wii Portal, there could be a legal/copyright issue. However the only way I can see those people who's photos which were used and were not licensed for said use getting any kind of remedy out of Yahoo! is to sue them. And if they sue Yahoo!, I'm sure Yahoo! would kill their accounts. So they're screwed if they fight for their rights and screwed if they don't (because if you don't defend your copyrights you can lose them). 3. Most people don't get it either, so don't feel alone. 4. Wow! You had mobile photos with those rocks. In my olden days, we had cave walls. *grin*<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('23391','Mark'); return false;">Reply</a> | <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('23391','Mark','1.

My next reaction was: I don't understand the big deal. Is it that things aren't staying the same, and people on the web tend to be very conservative? I don't get it.
