The new Flickr mobile design doesn’t work on my phone. It renders only halfway (see below), and clicking the buttons does nothing:
There’s a “old m.flickr.com” link in the new design, but if you can’t see it, you can’t click it.
If this happens to you, try this: go to http://m.flickr.com/rp.gne in the browser.
Now you’re back to the old design:
You might bookmark this address just in case. It might not be a preference that hangs around forever.
I’d like to see the new design working on my phone, as it looks like the targets are larger, but the old design suits me fine. (Except for display size issues… I’d like a 5-inch display “phone”, I cannot lie… I like m.flickr.com for browsing photos from friends & commenting better than the full site.)

Hi Wade, I don’t use Flickr much anymore, but I was curious if the chrome-like G1 had the same issue, but m.flickr.com loads the menu just fine. I should use it more, my parents would love to see more pictures, maybe when the baby comes.
Yeah Steve, I think this is an issue w/ Flickr not supporting mobile IE with the new design (that’s fine, I like the old fine) and then not detecting my phone as a mobile IE phone (I’ve no idea why that is.) If a WebKit phone like the G1 or iPhone gagged on the new site, I’d be really surprised. It was probably designed with them in mind!
