I have windows 7 Home Premium with Explorer 11 browser. On flickr the last few days I have not been able to access my albums also all of the stats info does not show up. In addition clicking on my photostream images does not lead the detailed info page.
I know Flickr is making changes and I wonder if it is a compatibility problem with my operating system or browser.
If so would a Google Chrome browser fix this or do I need windows 10 for correct operation?
Or, is it a Flickr problem?

Install Google Chrome. Different Browsers will render HTML code in different ways. When I have a weird problem like yours I switch to a different browser to see if that helps. I have three; IE, Chrome and FireFox. There is no problem with multiple browsers. They will fight for dominance asking you if you would like to make them your default browser. Play around with them, you can make one your default after you decide which one is working best for you. Any by all means, get on Windows 10. You should already be.

I agree get Windows 10! I use to use Win7 Pro I now use Win10 it’s been on my Toshiba laptop for three years and runs great the only thing I did was up my Ram from 8gb to 16gb.

Did you get a notice stating "you may be using an unsupported browser" when you logged in?
I'm using Win 7 Enterprise with IE11 and got that message.

Chrome or Opera would probably solve your problem. I've been a Firefox user for years but to my perceptions, has been getting a little buggy as of late. Due to the large number of pages I keep open, I run both Chrome & Opera, each on separate monitors and that combo has been very stable.

I do, too. Sometimes Flickr works OK with IE11 and sometimes it doesn't. When I have problems with IE I go to Firefox.Did you get a notice stating "you may be using an unsupported browser" when you logged in?

I also use Windows 7. But I don't use MS Explorer (which is not color calibrated). I use Firefox instead (color calibrated). That works just fine with Flickr (I just double checked, to be certain).
I have Explorer and Chrome installed, but mostly just use them to check website and photo appearances in them, look for any compatiblity issues.
Haven't been a fan of I'net Explorer for some years now. Firefox just seems easier and has features the others lack.
I try to avoid browsing with Chrome... Google already has too much info on me! I don't want to give them even more means of tracking everywhere I go online and further increase the amount of spam I'm already getting, when they sell my "info" to marketers!

Thanks to all for the helpful answers
I downloaded Chrome and that fixed the problem.
Funny thing happened. After I downloaded Chrome and used it I tried Explorer again
and it worked!
Either something was downloaded with Chrome that fixed it or Flicker modified their webpage.
