Although posted pics on here from Flickr a while ago seem unable to access my account, advice required
Yahoo user name/ password is this your email and BT/yahoo password just takes me back to there home page (BT/Yahoo)

Help

I seem to recall Yahoo and BT were splitting up their shared login ID?

If you didn't signup with a Yahoo account, perhaps you used a Google one.

As a matter of policy yahoo have decided to make flickr shite. So they're taking away facebook logon, but also they've made all the guidance and alternative logons shite too. I only had to get logged in one last time to download everything off it with bulkr, now it can **** off.

Does seem that way!

Shame they can't spin it off as a stand alone company that actually cares about photography.

Flickr - yes they made you get a Yahoo email address etc. Forgot mine so don't use it anymore. Flickr totally rubbish now.

With looking around the web it seems that you have to re-register with a Yahoo email address, which I don't really want to do.
The sad part of it is that I have pics already stored on their site.

So if everyone has now abandoned Flickr who are you suing to host/ post photos onto the web sites such as STW

I still use Flickr, but the whole community thing was killed off years ago. I just use it for hosting stuff now.

I've had a yahoo email address for years - only to use flickr. It doesn't seem to have had any adverse effects.

I still use it, because Photobucket makes me pay for bandwidth use. I set up a Yahoo email years ago for use with Flickr, and while I found it easier to log in via Fb, it doesn't cause too many problems. It's only an email address after all, you don't have to use any other Yahoo services, I never do, and I never seem to get any stuff from them either, so pretty benign really.

I was a BT Flickr user, spent ages recovering my old dormant Yahoo account (and I mean ages as in weeks, via customer support) so I could keep access to Flickr.

As above though, completely lost interest due to all the changes.

I used Flickr for many years but it has been destroyed recently so I've just signed up to [url= https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCMQFjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2F500px.com%2F&ei=DttUVJnvJpOP7AaDy4D4Dw&usg=AFQjCNELmFvNNTehtKTKWXMOrGdmsde96Q&bvm=bv.78677474,d.ZGU ]500px[/url]
