I'm with you guyson this. Facebook keeps wanting me to give them my
phone number (slightly diff, but related) tellin gme that will be safer.
huh? I think not.
On the otherhand, I'd like it if everyone who was viewing photos online
would skip doing that on their phones and wait until they got to their
desktops or laptops or at least an 8 x 10" screen on IPAD or the
equivalent.

I think it's despicable behaviour on their part. Perhaps I'm alone in my
thinking; wouldn't be the first time.
You are not alone. [1]
There is a plague of sites trying to get me to download their f_cking crappy
little apps. It's completely stupid and entirely contrary to what the www is
about and they can all just f_ck right off as far as I'm concerned.
Incidentally, I see the same fuzzy-image behaviour from F_ckr as you do,
although it does sometimes resolve itself, eventually, if I have the patience
to wait. That's with Safari on an iPad.
[1] one of my favourite book titles is a collection of readers' letters to the Daily
Telegraph, called "Am I alone in thinking...?".

BTW, nothing is "free".

I don't know what the issue is, frank. On iOS, the website works fine
in Safari, but their (free) app works even better. ??? It doesn't try
to sell me anything, it just makes it nicer to view photos there.

I haven't commented on any Flickr images for a while because they're
all horribly fuzzy on my Android. When I'm on a computer they're fine,
but unviewable on my 'droid. I think I whined about it on this list at
least once.
Every time I looked, Flickr asked me if I wanted to download their
app. I declined because, well, I just don't freaking want their app.
However I really wanted to get a good look at Darren's cloud piccie
so I relented and downloaded the Flickr app tonight. Guess what:
Beautiful, clear photos on my phone.
Sleazy buggers. I almost feel like uninstalling it just because of
their creepy marketing scheme. Almost.
I won't, but only so I can view those PDMLers who use it to show
their fine work. But I view it on Flickr under protest against all
that's evil about capitalism.
Thanks for listening. Rant over. Have a lovely evening.
