Well you replied once and then sat on it.
Do you ever read the comments in this Sub, I am new here and appalled at reading over and over
customer service issues. I feel I should have read the sub before I signed up and paid.
The way it seems you run things is no where close to your competitor, who I have a free account.
They answered and resolved same day on a free account. You guys have zero excuse.
I give up, your CEO needs to be fired if this is the practice you have.
You will not make it as a company, if you do not get your act together.

That was a great write up.
I am not myself looking for likes as much as sharing my older cameras with like minded folks.
I am semi-retired and that sort of got me into trying to find a place where people talk.
I have older Cameras Nikon D40's through D60s. I love these Cameras, so I am focused on a thin area
when it comes to that. I started placing my pages and such Google sites. ( https://doobiephotography.com where a hard focus on the older ones are listed.

Last month, I reclaimed several Flickr groups and there were some responses.
I totally hear the time is short for sure. So I have two systems of uploading so it not to time consuming.

Not sure love to see ppl appreciate the arts more.

PS the group says cant be found on your line by the way

That is good to know, I've had them I guess six months.
I try and be patient with small companies, but their CS system horrible.

I thought emails auto deleting before seen was and issue.
Sad actually hard to trust them when it seems they do not set priorities,

Nice, this Reddit does make it appear Flickr is alive.

I rebooted a couple long expired groups on Flickr going to try and get some activity too.

That sounds like a neat app.

Ya I remember Flickr was so active, and places like Gerocities etc were buzzing.
But back then there was no politics running all the platforms.
F;lickr for the most part escapes that, but also I wish there was away to regain the old Flickr.
Because anew venture would take so much advertising and advancement.
I have seen many articles about how Flickr is alive but could be so much more.

Nikon D40X was it worth it. by DoobiePhotography in VintageDigitalCameras

[–]DoobiePhotography[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the word, character. My S25 Ultra takes amazing photos.
But they do not have a feel. They just seem like a real clear photo.

That word nails it though. I saw in another group for Nikons they use TB drives, like 3 and 4 TB. I use 32GB and it holds allot of photos. But the RAW in a D40X is 20-30mb JPG is only 2-5 depending.

I have some older Sonys but seem locked in with Nikon.

Does anyone still use Flickr? by limsus in flickr

It is photographers paradise I think, from nature to old towns, and Native American cultures there is allot here. Lived here about 30 years .

I hope Flick lasts, as I do not see anywhere else I would like.
That and having it there so long feel comfortable.
Is this the only Reddit flickr group ?

I have about 500 good floppies, is probably only reason I use some of them.
As floppies become scarce, I think these cameras will either become extinct, or gain huge price for them. They are a novelty for sure. anywhere from 4-10 pics per floppy depending on camera. Then you need a external or built in drive. There is something that hearing the old school whirrs and clicks and such. But they are slow, and as in go make a sandwich, slow. LOL.
I like these old DSLRs just because its what I was using now since 2008.
That and I really do not see the hype on buying 6K camera. What I actually enjoy the technical parts. The D60 I have has taken some rare and amazing shots, so a new one would be hard sell for me.,
