LfVr Tips

Tags: LfVr

The reason I wrote LfVr is to browser and enjoy so many wonderful photos in the world "FAST". So the response time is my first priority. LfVr uses text ony, no image banners, logo, or image buttons.

When you are surfing these photos, LfVr won't retrieve unnecessary data from flickr server. If you don't mind not to see the photo details, you can close the "photo information" so LfVr will not call API to get photo info.

I encourage to install Greasemonkey user script, so you can jump to LfVr from flickr anytime.

Use photo sets as far as possible. Prevent to use tag search or click on tag directly. The response of Flickr tag search is very slow.

There are many ways to jump to other's photostream. You can find new users by search, favorites, contacts, or at least everyone's photo. All photostreams you visit will be cached by LfVr, but will be clean when you switch to a new user.

I hope LfVr can satisfy all of you.
