Now I see how Yahoo makes it's money from Flickr.
I didn't think I would be upgrading to a Pro account - 20Mb upload per month seemed more than enough for me, especially when Uploadr has done its compressive magic on the files.
Swept away in the initial enthusiasm, I'd decided I might upload whole swathes of archived photographs (being a paid-up member of the quantity-over-quality brigade). Artistic merit could wait.
Little did I realise that I'd need a Pro account to enable more than three "Sets" of collections. Of course there's no technical reason behind this restriction - it's purely a money-making condition. But I'll forgive the good folks at Flickr, 'cos its still rather wonderful!
Incidentally, having plumped up the dosh (via PayPal), I promptly got a spookily-coincidental PayPal phishing scam email. Message to the spammer - please try harder... (from the "PayPal Management Stuff" indeed...)

Flickr is great, but it's guaranteed you'll go PRO. You only get to see 200 photos at a time. Once you load number 201, your first photo disappears from site and only reappears when you subscribe
i had to upgrade to pro almost immediately because i reached my upload limit within seconds and could not live with only 3 sets. i am now a total addict. it is worth every penny :)
