Machines Don't Care

Jul 07, 2009 19:23

First Flickr logs me out and tells me I must have a Yahoo ID to log in. Then, when I try to link my new Yahoo ID (I don't remember inputting an old one, and it seems to log me in whatever username I type: am I creating hundreds of Yahoo IDs here?) to my 'old' Flickr account, it tells me the password for my old account doesn't match my email ( Read more... )

Flickr is a yahoo brand so you can link IDs if you want but you don't have to and should be able to log-in as your flickr ID. Or just make a billion new yahoo IDs with yahoo email. Whatevz. ;-)

There's no 'log in to Flickr' window for me anymore, just a 'sign in with your Yahoo ID' window. And when I try to link this to my new ID to my Flickr account, it refuses to accept any of my passwords (I only have five or six in use at any one time, and it's not any of them; I don't think it's just my bad memory) or send me a prompt.

I can only think that I must have somehow got myself banned - maybe for not crediting old found photographs (I left a disclaimer!). Oh, well. I'm Uniqofax now. Uniqofax will be squeaky-clean.

So your flickr ID won't go in the yahoo box then? (Just checking I understand what you're saying.)

Yay, uniqofax!

Typing in 'SeeBriRun' and (the first of) my password(s that came into my head) seems to have created a Yahoo ID. It's hideous.

Yay, uniqofax!

Uniqofax added SeeBriRun as a contact, but SeeBriRun won't add him back. For shame, SeeBriRun. ::easily amused::
