Users cannot perform or accelerate the migration process beyond logging in to "2.0". Unfortunately, transferring and resizing ~2BB+ photos takes time, so even though we put active users in a special queue, that queue is large. Perhaps we should have put a "your spot in the queue" countdown. We migrate active users before inactive users. Users cannot perform or accelerate the migration process beyond logging in to “2.0″.

Just the fact that we don't have a good naming system to distinguish old from new - "2.0" and "3.0"? where do those appear anywhere in the UI? - is emblematic of how confusing the whole system is. The photos help database doesn't provide any visibility into the presence of two (OK, three if you count flickr) incompatible photo "systems" on Yahoo, or give any insight into the migration process. Can users perform (or accelerate) the migration process itself? Or is it entirely at the whim of some bot which is slowly crawling through all yahoo accounts and converting albums?

I had to replace a sensor because the check engine light was on. So, let me get this straight... the engine doesn\'t really have a problem, just the sensor that is supposed to find the problem? This happened on another car of mine a few years ago. What good is this system if the sensors can\'t outlast the engine? When will we see some of the same advances in cars that we\'ve made in computer science... like redundancy, hot swapping, and error messages?! I\'m sure not going to take that car in if I get an error message: \"Sorry, I can\'t feel the engine, but if you\'re still driving, there\'s probably nothing wrong.\" I just picked up my car today from the service shop.
