CC attribution is still passed through (automagically) to all photos in the Haiku Deck image search! Just click the CC logo in top left corner of every slide to see photographer and licensing info – here’s one example http://www.haikudeck.com/101-years-of-technology-education-presentation-k2YWcuEC8Y#. We hope Flickr finds a way to bring back attribution on their site – it’s an amazing treasure trove.
I’ve been resisting making this decision for a while now, with most iterations I’ve gotten used to the changes and found that some of the new features I genuinely enjoy. Unfortunately, it hasn’t even been remotely the case with this iteration.
Hell when the beta testing first took place my initial reaction was “wow they’re really testing early, this is almost unusable” and yet it seems almost identical now and testing is supposedly over.
“Since then, we’ve heard a lot of feedback that we should switch to the more universally recognized CC icons that we used on the previous photo page. Today we are switching back to the familiar Creative Commons icons on the new photo experience. Additionally, we’re changing a design feature to showcase the Creative Commons license information at the top of the photo page under the photo’s description and the view count. This should guarantee that the license is more visible.”
In the most recent round of updates to Flickr’s new photo experience, we’ve addressed a number of the concerns raised in this post, as well as other feedback from the Flickr community. We’re very proud to support Creative Commons licenses, as we have since 2004. https://secure.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157643678007215/
