Clarifications:
Free accounts now have all the advantages of Pro accounts except stats, being free of ads, unlimited storage (but seriously, 1tb is a lot).

They are working on providing a disk...

Here's what I've been able to clarify via FAQ updates and staff communications today:

The missing "replace" feature was an oversight. They've now enabled it for all account types, but there's a...

yes pro is free of ads. 'Ad Free' the name given to the new account type which costs $50.

The way they remove ads is different. The Pro accounts remove ads for you as well as anyone viewing your...

Stats are an expensive feature. I recall prior to the Yahoo days, flickr was forced to remove them from free users because it just wasn't economical. Official word is they are not offering them to...

There are/were performance issues. Not browser issues.

flickr image quality is 10x better than facebook. your argument is invalid.

@hiro_pro: flickr image quality is 10x better than facebook. your argument is invalid.

The 300mb/month limit was dropped. It no longer exists.

The advantages of pro right now are:
-stats

@dylanbarnhart you forgot no ads.

it's also worth noting that unlike pro, the new ad free account only removes ads from you, not your viewers.

They're moving to an advertising model. They don't want you to pay. Don't expect those prices to go up, ever.

By imposing a limit, they're also going to increase the average image quality, since...

Of course it's a myth, since they can even resort to taking a screenshot.

What is considered "large" is a moving target. A better copy protection method is to watermark.

500px is the most "flickr-like". But I prefer flickr.

less than less? wow that's really quite less.

yeah they are still having issues, I think they will sort that out over the next few days.

no. pro stays pro. ad free is a different account type. It does not include stats and only hides ads for you, it still displays them for your viewers.
