Yea, I hate the new flicker even more than the old flicker, if that's
possible, when attempting to open two of those pages Flicker tried to sell
me an I phone app.  There was no obvious way of dismissing the advert. short
of reloading the page which happily got rid of it.  I don't really
understand how anyone thinks pissing off your visitors will do any good.  If
I don't want your app I'm not going to download it, and making sure I can't
get rid of the advert until I am forced to read it does just that.
Perhaps the ultimate First World Problem.
A little iPhone tip: Touch the little "X" and the oppressive
objectionable window goes away.

Yea, about that, there was no obvious X. That seems to be a new trick, hide the close control so the user is forced to examine the advert closely. I just got pissed off and couldn't be bothered.
