The site is acting weird! Things aren saving… photos are missing… what gives??
A basic explanation is that we have lots of databases running Flickr, and if an individual machine gets overwhelmed, updates can fall behind. These are the main symptoms of weirdness: • “This photo is unavailable” • Tags you’ve just entered not coming up • Comments you’ve just made not coming up • Editing a comment gives a “bad link” page instead of the error • Trouble confirming your email address • Posts to groups not working • Contact’s recent photos not updated or out of sync • Changing title/description on your photos Even though it’s confusing, the updates you are making around the place do work (mostly sub-second actually), it’s just that there’s a short delay in them showing up. Unfortunately, this particular problem is compounded when people see that their comment hasn’t come up, and try to post it again, and then again… so, if you see this sort of behavior happening, the best advice we can give is just to leave it for a while and then come back.
