what exactly happened to flickr? it looks the same to me

the force fed the new style on everyone now. You can not opt out anymore.

Oh.. only the english part of it. It might take a while longer for the EU/non english yahoo users. I am setting up a dutch flickr account to see what gives

ah that should be why I don't notice any changes yet then

aye. I think so. Lucky you! lol

Even if you don't see it now, it will come. Unless people rise against it very, very loudly - which is not what I'm seeing, at least now.
