  @Hameed, The increased load was causing problems so we disabled Flickr imports to free up resources to do the Instagram photos.

• Hameed commented  ·  December 25, 2012 3:24 a.m.  ·  Delete

  The instagram import link (https://openphoto.me/for/instagram) is not turned off and I can see the connect button (clicking it leads to the authorization page), however the Flickr import link (https://openphoto.me/for/flickr) has no "connect" button (or any other button) at all, that is: disabled; the question is, if Instagram TOS are problematic then importing from Instagram should be disabled not from Flickr? Or have I missed the whole point?

  How come Instagram TOS changes lead to Flickr import being disabled but Instagram import working?

  @Jim / @Hameed, The number of photos only impacts the amount of time it takes to complete. We've done accounts with over 50k photos.

  We temporarily disabled it because we were slammed with folks importing their Instagram photos due to the recent TOS issues they had.

  We're going to be re-enabling Flickr imports for all paid accounts later this week. Send an email to support@openphoto.me if you have questions.

  Same question here, I have over 10,000 photos on Flickr; will it cause any problems?

  Also, is the service down? the link (https://openphoto.me/for/flickr) has only information but no button to click to?

  OK, I'm sold, I love this idea, but I have over 12,000 pictures on Flickr, can you take them all?

  How do I import the rest of my photos from my flickr (preferably without duplication)?

  This sounds like a zeitgeist idea. I'd like to close my yahoo account, and I am held back due to losing my flickr photos.

  @Wayne, Yes, there's a comment form for each photo.

  I love open photo and I started using it today. I have a question. How do you add comments to the pictures?

  Thank you.

  Smugmug has a nice plugin for Firefox called smugglr, which allows you to import your Flickr photos into Smugmug. It's not perfect, but it worked pretty weel, last time I tried it. Might be something you could look at for inspiration.

  I would love to see OpenPhoto as the master and Flickr (or web-based community) as the secondary. As services come and go, it would be great to be able to retain your core assets and change where the world browses cached copies of your photos. Ideally, this should be as easy as changing the pointers much in the same way you change pointers on your domain when you change hosts.

  @Rose, We're going to retain as much data as humanly possible :).

  adding to this - the ability to keep the photos in albums, and with descriptions if possible - otherwise, those of us with large numbers of pictures will be trying to recreate/redo all of this manually.

  @Ryan Sync with Flickr would be pretty trivial since they have a webhook API. Every photo you upload or delete could ping your OpenPhoto account and keep the two in sync.

  Initially, I think folks will continue to use Flickr for distribution but hopefully that changes over time :).
