We're currently tracking down a bug that's causing ads to show for Premium users. It got introduced during one of our recent updates to Wylio. I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we fix the problem.

UPDATE:
This problem should now be fixed

It appears that Flickr is up, running, and accepting search queries from Wylio again. Thanks to everyone for their patience during the service interruption!

Flickr is Down

If you're having trouble getting pictures from Wylio today, you're not alone. Flickr, the source for Wylio's images is currently down.

Flickr has posted a couple updates about the problems here:

And here's a nifty utility to let you know if Flickr is actually down for everyone, or if you are having connection issues closer to home:

(UPDATE: It appears that the "down or not" site is now... down)

We've recently made a few updates to Wylio, here are a few:
  • The color picker in the dashboard (for choosing credit colors) works better now, the previous color picker was a bit buggy.
  • We've updated the icons for the positioning, downloading, and embedding buttons.
  • You can now search Wylio using a url in your browser's address bar. For example: http://www.wylio.com/Search/?search=wrench&page=1
  • The credits placed under the images should look a bit better now.
We hope these small improvements make our service work a little bit better for you. Thanks for using Wylio!
