As Joe mentions in his Review post, he doesn't know how you get on the new beta without just seeing the link.
I just want our readers (and the Yahoo! Photos folks) know that we don't get special privileges here on the Unofficial Yahoo! Blog - I don't get the new version that I can compare to my Flickr Pro account :(
So, if the devs have any influence on who gets to see the new code, I'd be happy to post a comparison :)
Can I get on the Yahoo! Photos Beta?

(Page 1)2. There was a beta link (very small) on my photos page last night where I could "sign up" to participate in the beta. Once I did, it said that it could take up to 10 days before I would see the beta. I'm waiting . . .

3. Thanks - when I looked last night before making the post, I didn't have the link.
I tried again this morning and saw it - I'll be joining you in ~10 days.

5. I joined to the Beta and the change come in 12 business day
But there so many bugs that affect the Yahoo! Photos Beta.
First: Yahoo! users that still uses the actual Yahoo! Photos can't see your photos in the Beta, if they are loginned in the Yahoo! Network.
Second, Yahoo! 360° doesn't recognize the albums from Yahoo! Photos Beta. You still can't share your photos by 360°
The UI are the best, and all the options are great, but it really are not complete yet.

6. I just checked and its official: EVERY Yahoo! us account gets the link to the photos beta, EXCEPT at&t users :(
I HATE that they always give us the best new services late, if ever. Thankfully, a few people have been corteous enough to post the sign-up URL. It works perfectly, but i never would get access without hacking with the URL.
Yahoo! I worship you but you NEED TO STOP holding out on the services for us paid at&t users. We should be treated with the same access level to these new features as you give mail Plus accounts!
