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?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.

I am just happy that it's being looked into and it makes me feel great to know that Microsoft cares about it's customers! Thank you! Not a lot of companies do this, I have seen so many change things and when it's customers can't get things to work right or just don't like the change, most of the time it's to bad, live with it but I see you all are trying to help and that's great! I will be looking forward to many more years of using your services and buying new things as they come! Keep up the great work and thank you all again!
Hello all,
Just to let you know that I am having the same experience. I am a relatively new user of both Photo Gallery and Flickr. I guessed that, since I recently got Windows8, the Photo Gallery that came with it would be up to the newest standards. And that having a built-in Flickr upload-button would guarantee a smooth cooperation between the two. Unfortunately, I only used this VERY nice feature for just a few days when it suddenly wasn't working anymore. I surely hope you will be able to fix this soon!

Welcome to Win8 and flickr!! I'm a user of both and can tell you that it was flickr that did a update and kicked us Photo Gallery users off for the moment but Microsoft is working on the problem and I hope will have us back up and running again soon.
