Flickr has changed there API and I'm not able to use Windows Photo Gallery to load to there site anymore. I've talked to flickr and they say it's cuz of there new API and that Windows Photo Gallery has to update before it will work again. Anyone know what to do?

Just found that Flickr's Web Uploader DOES retain the metadata that you add within Photo Gallery so until the upload feature in Photo Gallery is fixed, I for one will be using this. It's nowhere near as friendly but it does mean that I don't have to type in descriptions and tags for all my photos all over again.

    Hi Tony,

    I've been commenting on and closely watching this forum. I heartily agree about WLPG and Flickr. I HOPE we'll soon see a fix from Microsoft. If not, I'll be looking at completely beginning anew somewhere else. They already have a black eye for abandoning so many. But for now I'm okay to give them some time.

    As a note for all -- in case you have a similar incident -- Today for the first time, I get no response while trying to use the main (newest?) Flickr Upload icon that is at the top of (all) our photostreams.

    I am able to open it, and select photos, but then I only see the "upload" pink bar again, and nothing happens. I even waited for a few minutes, without success. I had to use the old uploader to get the photos to my photostream.

    Hi Konabish,

    What 'old uploader', the Flickr interface?

    When you're in your photostream's first page, you click on UPLOAD at the upper portion of the page; when that opens, look up in the right-hand corner.... "Old Uploader"
