Now a Flickr PRO
Yesterday I upgraded my Flickr A/C to PRO. Earlier I thought the limit in the basic free version is only the 20MB per month upload limit. But when I reached 200 photos I found out that my later photos started to vanish when I uploaded the new ones as there is a display limit of [...]
