There's currently a blue banner being presented to us, which goes "BIG NEWS: Flickr joins 1% for the Planet! Read the blog to learn how your photos are building a better future for everyone.".

Dismissing it doesn't seem to work as the banner reappears after a while. It may not be on the next refresh but appears possibly on the news browser session or the next day, in the same browser on the same machine.

I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behaviour?

	POsrUs says: adobepremiere: It would wonderful if they would use the increased revenue from subscription hikes to fix the myriad of annoying and all-to-frequent problems with the SERVICE. I emphasize the word SERVICE because when you pay an ever-increasing amount for a PREMIUM SERVICE, you expect to get something that works 99% correctly at least 95% of the time. Today, a search of my photos using a known and valid search term returns no results. Every day, it's something new that fails to work properly. Posted 3 weeks ago. ( permalink \| reply )
