Flickr has been gradually deteriorating, but today it has gone belly-up! This means that some Flickr genius has been deliberately and methodically pulling the plugs!

I paid for a Flickr Pro Account.

Now I have to pay for a new computer.

Thanks a lot!

Edit: Up until today, I was able to use the ugly purple Yahoo! toolbar as a back door to access my Yahoo email. Now it connects me to the "old" version of email and tells me to upgrade my browser.

Is Flickr deliberately harassing Neanderthals like me?

I am a paying member too, and I'd be pissed if Flickr failed to update and improve their service with the newest technologies just so they can still work on outdated systems/browsers.

Darren LoPrinzi:

technology becomes obsolete.

There is a difference between "unsupported" browsers and "obsolete" browsers.

What we see here is that Flickr is boycotting Opera, which is a *fully updated* modern browser, keeping track with new developments etc.

ED. The funny thing is that "Epic", which is an unsupported browser, does not call up the Green Grass screen.

ED 2 And note that Opera IS secure.

I don't understand this resentment about Flickr moving forward. It seems to be another example where people want Flickr to improve, as long as it doesn't impact them. Flickr didn't move forward for many years and it almost died. I for one would prefer it to not remain stagnant.

Yep - but as the way to upgrade involves being stuck with a hopless Windows 8 at the moment, it's not much of an advance is it? Flickr worked this morning and not this afternoon. It's perfectly possible to serve the older verion to older browsers but Yahoo have chosen not to do this, prefering to abuse (again) Flickr users.

Beautification Syndrome says:

This is absolutely annoying. First Google does it with their searches a few months back, now Flickr, I even went to the Atlantic site this morning and it's a horrific mobile layout. Why can't they just leave well enough alone.

I take it the message coming up EVERY FRICKING TIME YOU GO TO A NEW PIC is supposed to annoy you into upgrading your browser? How about I just don't and NOT use Flickr?

I'm on OS X Snow Leopard and until Apple actually makes a OS X that favors functionality over stupid bells and whistles I'm not upgrading. They already ruined IOS by making unusable on Ipad 2's. Forced obsolescence on perfectly working machines and hardware is a money grab plain and simple.

I am getting the same message for Safari (browser unsupported please update to latest version). I am using the latest version of Safari (5.1.10) for my computer's operating system (10.6.8). Perhaps newer versions of Apple's operating system support a newer version of Safari, I don't know, but if I update my current Apple operating system to the most recent version, I will lose many programs I utilize that will no longer be supported by the latest Mac operating system, including ones I use to process photos that I post on Flickr.

If that is version 37.02 then consider creating a new thread and add [BUG] to the topic title.

There are more reports from others with the same problem, using the latest FF and getting the Green Grass screen.

Photography is a passion that crosses all lines in society and many who enjoy it are disabled, elderly and not affluent enough to constantly pay for new cameras, software and computers every few years. The internet in theory should be a means where ALL should be able to enjoy the benefits of photo sharing.

Flickr no longer supporting older browsers clearly is discriminating against that segment of society that can least afford to upgrade, but nonetheless have a love of photography.

Throwing those that cannot afford to constantly upgrade under the bus, so to speak, puts Flickr in a position of no longer being an inclusive egalitarian forum for the enjoyment of photography.

Hopefully, corporate Flickr and Yahoo will realize that the lack of backward compatibility is clearly discriminatory.

From reports of some users it appears for them Firefox latest (37.02) calls up the Grass is greener message.

Flickr no longer supporting older browsers

Flickr has always dropped support for older browsers. The browser requirements is this FAQ topic specifically state:

"Flickr is designed to run in the latest versions of the following browsers.

Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Internet Explorer
Safari"


(emphasis mine)

Hopefully, corporate Flickr and Yahoo will realize that the lack of backward compatibility is clearly discriminatory.

For Flickr to innovate, they need to work with the tools of the Internet, which change as the technology changes. Expecting them to be backwards compatible forever is not realistic.

I'm not seeing the message on Firefox 37.0.1 and I just upgraded to 37.0.2 and still do not see it. Which platform?

With regard to Opera, it is not technically a supported browser, though I suspect there won't be many (if any) issues using Flickr. This is not a statement saying we support it! ;)

There may be an issue with Safari 7 triggering the message. That seems a bit aggressive.

Poor IE. Once at the top, now at the bottom. We don't support IE10 or less though, in reality, IE10 is generally okay. There's an interesting (nerdy) blog post here about browser usage on Flickr code.flickr.net/2015/03/04/browsers-in-2014/

Using Opera triggers the "Grass is greener" message when clicking through to the photo pages and group pages. .

That started earlier today.

I have just started getting this issue. I was fed up with chrome getting slower and slower and basically becoming a real PITA to use so looked for an alternative. Opera is awesome secure and lightning quick. so why i would choose one of the others is beyond me. IE is a dinosaur always was always will be which is why it will no longer be bundled with windows as from win 10. chrome as i said has now just become unusable. fair enough firefox could be good, but i moved to chrome from firefox because it too became unusable. PLEASE FLICKR support Opera as more and more people are turning to it especially now syncing with a mobile is the norm and opera does this with consummate ease.

I can't upgrade OS on home computer (and with neices in university can't afford new computer just for Flickr). And while I technically could upgrade the iPad the Apple Genius recommended against it (reduced battery life and major slowdown is the hit I'd take).

What awesome features are being planned that we need to buy new computers and iPads to use? And if we don't want to use them, can't we at least only have to click the "I'm not crossing the fence" button once per session?

hi Eric, just remove the message and let people choose their own browser. saying opera is not technically supported and there wont be many if any issues is a bit lame. opera as a browser should be supported as it has been around for a long time and in its new guise even uses the chrome engine. how hard can it be for flickr to sort this issue. either support opera or remove the greengrass message.

But you need to compare that to the development and support costs of a company to continue to serve such a small percentage of users and stay stuck in the past, rather than innovate and look to the future. At a certain point, it's not worth it to stay there.

The same happens on the video front with refusal for a standard (is it mp4 or .ogg and which browser supports what and why they change the thing around all the time? We should claim rights as users on downward compatability... My high end Mac OSX 10.6.8 works fine...

Fot the simple functionality Flickr has... showing pictures in different groupings and sizes, backward compatibility is NO problem... a bit of Javascript and the like will read out which machine with what browser is connecting and divert the user to a proper functioning bit of display software... Backward compatibility for the functionality Flickr offers also what they want to offer in the future should pose NO PROBLEM with a well informed staff and good programmers. IT smells like top-down manager style decision making by incompetent people with too much power at a too high position, being well paid for doing a bad job.

I've barely used Flickr since May 20, 2013 as it is. Now they don't even want me to SEE the site? Great going, Yahoo; great going.

Thank you all for your patience. Safari 7 users should not be seeing the message anymore, let us know if that's still the case.
Thanks!

Eric Willis:

how can Opera be unsupported when l can see my photos, my albums, my mail, my profile and add tags and amend my preferences to all my photos all of which l done in the last hour and yet when l click on an individual photo or use the search facility l get the 'unsupported' crap. It sounds more like a really bad bit of programming from a 'apprentice' who has not a clue what the hell he is doing.

I am no longer seeing the Green Grass message on Opera (updated version) - I can click through to the individual photo pages and anywhere else without the green obstruction.

Thank you for the fix.

How come I'm getting "The grass could be greener on the other side" all of a sudden?

I'm using Firefox Mozilla, the latest version but got it set to the pre-March 2014 Flickr page so I can add stuff to the maps, still getting "we're still hard at work" if I use it on the latest page! :(
