Pre Beta Flickr screen capture. With comments below & scrolling context thumbnail strip.

The pre-Beta Flickr screen is still seen on some photostreams!

WE CAN'T EVEN TYPE IN CAPS IN THE COMMENTS FIELD! Return the Old Flickr PLEASE!
The title is not quite separate from the Comments, (on the Beat before this version with white text on black!)

In the pre-NPE BETA days, they were quite distinctive! before May 2013.
The comments below are just about unreadable in the NPE through 2013-14

I have been away for this process for the last 4 days now and all I see on return is one huge mess.

Flickr is expecting us to naively take them on trust. They have beta'd a dysfunctional model that is impossible to evaluate and are being secretive about the likely loss of features.
It was not broken before this mess was foisted on us.

Here are just some of the probable reductions in features that Flickr has planned for us.

- loss of your ability to edit a comment you have written.
- loss of ability to add a photo under an image
- loss of ability to add notes
- loss of ability to see who has added your image as a favourite
- likely a significant reduction from 75 tags which can be added to an image
- loss of ability to see your photostream image thumbnails above groups first up in the sidebar
- loss of drag-out capability in the reduced size comment box eg try and drag out the comment box on this forum - you cannot and you cannet edit your comment either.
- loss of ability to view comments in chronological order
- loss of ability to see and read the tags
- loss of ability to have a space between words in tags
- loss of ability to immediately see that information is available to read in the description
- loss of white background with black easier-to-read text
- loss of ability to scroll down to easily read the description and supplementary comments.
- maybe loss of access to the map and geotagging
- loss of ability to see an image without the distracting and dysfunctional sidebar.
- almost total loss of the sense of community that previously existed
- loss of active group participation
- loss of many more frustrated, and now bitter people, from Flickr

Can you add further to my list of likely feature losses?

As someone below has said I hope these features are not to be lost also
Replace this photo
Edit title, tags, and dates.
Add/remove to set
Add to group
Add a note
Add/edit map
View all sizes
View Exif data (not just the basic).

SCROLL DOWN THE COMMENTS see more updates, and links to some Forum and staff comments.. This is easier said than done on the new Beta, so sorry, just go back to a PC and opt out of the New Experience...

These are the sort of NOTES we need!
