Yahoo bought Flickr in March 2005.

I don't know what Yahoo account I used to sign up for Flickr. I remember 2.5 years ago when I got my Flickr account having to make one just for it.

No idea how to help you unfortunately. I'd just make a new account, readd your older photos you love and take a bunch of new ones in honor of a fresh Flickr start.

luckily I won't have to resort to that, I fixed it!
Was weird and I still don't understand what happened, but it's all better now.

I double-checked your Flickr profile in case you had another e-mail address associated with your account, but that gmail one is the only one shown. *mystified*

In the short term, I can make that pic of you public so that you can see it without logging in -- would that help?

I have no idea why it exploded in the first place and it took an unreasonable amount of work, but after trying every combination of user names I've ever used I figured out my yahoo id, got a replaced password,set the gmail I use for flickr as my primary e-mail account in yahoo, and then it let me associate them with each other and voila! I am back.
