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 konabish,

    Thank you for posting back. Photo Gallery (Windows Essentials 2012) and Windows Live Photo Gallery (Windows Live Essentials 2011) refers to one program only but no worries, our support specialist is already aware of this.

    We do appreciate your patience and understanding regarding the issue.

    Regards,

    Glenda

    I'm happy to hear that, and I appreciate your timely response! I'd like to add that I have a premium support subscription, and I'm also impressed at how the tech worked-out other issues I was having. It's rare today to find this level of service. Kudos to all, and it'll be reflected on the survey I'll complete. 

    Looking forward to a positive outcome on this one

    Absolutely ridiculous. It shouldn't take so long to provide a fix like this. And while you're at it, Microsoft, update the UI and add/improve some of the features. Photo-gallery needs an overhaul ... badly!
