   Hey! This is great info! For a while I was planning to just move all my stuff to maj.com but Flickr pro w/ Flickr Uploadr sounds much easier. Thanks.

That’s the dilemma. Easier for the uploader, but harder for the surfer to find. I am too familiar with the Brickshelf/maj model and will stick with it for the time-being.

Other than the latest uploads, random browsing, or links from other sites, I found it very, very difficult to locate content I was specifically looking for, especially once a bit of time had passed. (This isn’t railing on the site or Kevin, just sharing my personal experience)

Yeah, that I’ll admit, but I never really looked for things past just browsing the recent pages. What I liked was the one-site shopping, and that it was an AFOL site, too. Flickr is bigbox. I like the corner drugstore guy;-)
