@onethumb Flickr Pro user here since 2007. There used to be an "Archive" view that had a calendar you could click through and see pictures taken or uploaded on a specific date. I haven't been able to find it since the Camera Roll feature launched.

Camera Roll is certainly useful, but I'd love if I could just quickly click on a calendar and see photos from a certain date rather than waiting for Camera Roll to load up and scrolling/filtering through the huge list. I realize Camera Roll has this feature as well, but I miss the old "Archive" version.

Ooh, I found it! If you visit someone's else's About page (like mine: https://www.flickr.com/people/donmacaskill/ ) and click on my join date, you'll see the calendar interface. Presumably, you want to be able to do this on your own photos? I'm not sure why you can't, but I'm finding out. :)

Thanks for being a customer, and thanks for the feedback. I'll look into whether we can revive this or not. Were you using it to find your own photos, or photos from the community, or... ?

I've been a Pro user for a long time before Yahoo started to screw things up badly. Flickr is only alive today because of the communities that use it. A lot of bloggers used and still use it to share pictures that are freely licensed (CC-BY-*), you should at least consider to keep those in some form or another or provide the means to redirect the links from the search result.
