Flickr questions please

[Marko]

Hi members!

I'm a casual flickr user ( Flickr: Photography.ca - Marko Kulik's Photostream ) and i have a couple of basic questions that i hope you can help with.

1 - Is there a way to categorize contacts into any other groups besides friends or family? (Ie landscape photographers - portrait photographers etc.) I USED to be able to do this but unless I'm mistaken this option has been stupidly removed. Is this correct?

2 - Similar to 1, Is there a way to categorize All rights reserved photos from Creative commons photos FROM MY CONTACTS?

many thanks!

from some googling i found this script that does indeed work with Firefox and Greasemonkey.

Flickr: Discussing GM Script: Flickr Contacts Organiser - Tag your contacts - Script Updated 24th Mar 2011 in Flickr Hacks

It answers part 1 of my question. Thx!

Wish I could help you but like you I am a casual user and only use it to host photos for this forum as it seems to be the best for posting photos.

I'm a fairly heavy user and I'm not familiar with any built in functionality that lets you do that. My other beef with the site is that it's very tricky to keep on top of group discussions. I wish Flickr was innovating or I wish I could convince all my Flickr contacts to move to a spot where these features work better but I'm having trouble finding any place better.

One thing Flickr does very well is navigation. If I'm looking at an image I can click the name of the group and with the left and right arrows browse through the images in that group or click on the name of the individual and then browse back and forth within that photographer's collection. That's my favourite feature.

I'm getting really tired of what can't be done on Flickr as it evolves. It seems to me it's becoming a heavy piece of bloatware. I'm a heavyish user of the site as I quite often use it as an idea bank for inspiration into the future hopes and aspirations of my own work by carousing the work of others....But it's getting downright tedious!
