Well looks 500px is getting enough negative feedback that they are making some changes.

Now when you click on a person’s profile the first thing you get is their pictures and not the flow, which is a vast improvement, but still not perfect, as I would like to be able to say what people see about me. If they only see my pictures, or if I let them see my pictures and activities as well. This is a privacy concern to me and I wish they would fix it, but it looks like they won’t.

Second friends are back, or at least half back. There is now a page that shows your friends new photos, but there is not an RSS feed for it. So you have to go to your web site to see new photos, and it constantly updates and is impossible to jump in where you previously were (which was why the RSS feed was the perfect way for this to work).

And to me the big piss off is that they have not responded at all to my request for a refund, even with a negative. I assume they are adding new features and trying to wait people out, but the no response makes me even more angry.

This was such a great site, and while it is closer to what it was, it is still broken. And if they don’t return the friend functionality I still want a refund.
