l.yimg.com

Recently after flickr updated their interface, during the beta run as well after live, I had problems about some buttons not working. e.g. Actions, all sizes etc. I use firefox( 3.6.8), chrome(whichever is latest build) as well as IE8. This used to not work in any browser. After multiple iterations of research, found that the relevant information to run javascript for this is taken from l.yimg.com. If you leave first window after loading for sometime till all objects are downloaded from l.yimg.com, then they will be in cache and they work fine. But if you click fast before loading full page, it may not work.

There are numerous complaints about l.yimg.com server slowness.

cheers
