  And you guys thought you had problems: C|NET: Flickr users unhappy
  Seems they're requiring a Yahoo id to sign in now.
  
  A lot of people, like me, won't get a Yahoo ID on principle (in my case, it's because of how they screwed eGroups in their younger days)...

  Migration
  While I can't offer generous 50% discount like SM does (my pricing is already rock bottom and I don't have subscription, just a one time fee) I'd like to remind the community that my Star*Explorer comes with a free 30-day trial, which (to my knowledge and experience) is more than enough to upload several years worth of pictures all in one shot and without paying a single penny.
  
  Once you have your archives uploaded you can simply use any other free uploader to do your day-to-day uploads.

  I agree you get what you pay for . I have ID in flickr i simply don't like looks and feel of flickr. And the thing that you have to be a member to comment on photos
