Hello, I have been inactive on Flickr for quite some time. I am facing an issue with logging in through my Yahoo account. It appears that my Yahoo ID, jereza_1827, is linked to an email address that is already associated with another Flickr account belonging to Jessie Q. I have attempted to access my old account peanut.butter218 but I cannot remember the password and the recovery options are not viable. Unfortunately, the backup email linked to my account is an old Hotmail account that I no longer have access to. I am seeking assistance on how to access my Jessie Q. account and reset the password. I eagerly await your response. If needed, you can reach me at [redacted] Thank you, Jeresa.

An ex-partner of mine named Jeremiah Boozer has taken and posted videos of me online without my knowledge or consent. I was unaware of this until a family member informed me. Jeremiah Boozer has been stalking and threatening me for months. I need the videos and pictures removed immediately as I did not give permission for them to be posted. He is committing fraud by posting them under my name and pretending to be me. I have evidence to support this and may take legal action against the website for allowing it. Please remove the content promptly to avoid involving my lawyer. Jeremiah Boozer uses the email [redacted], while mine is [redacted] I hope we can resolve this issue without legal intervention. Sincerely, Alicia Green

Hello, I am having trouble accessing my old account, "william.bechiom," which I can no longer log in to because I tried signing up for a new account using my current email, [redacted] Whenever I attempt to log in, I am stuck in a loop that leads to an error message no matter what I do. The issue seems to be that my Yahoo! ID, 6wyq4ocijy7zrpltd4mozgmgjiq5qs23h5ecpgzq, is linked to my email [redacted], which is already associated with the netsloth account on Flickr. To resolve the problem, I need to either remove the email address from the netsloth Flickr account or change the primary email for my Yahoo! ID. I want to regain access to my original netsloth account under william.bechiom and link it to [redacted] However, I am unable to unlink the email from the new account or access the original one. Could someone assist me in navigating this complex process to log in? Thank you, William

I have been struggling to access my Flickr Pro account since the change in ownership. I've had this account for many years, but Yahoo's requirement to sign in to upload more images has caused issues. After creating a new password and email address, I find myself unable to access my existing Flickr account with thousands of images. Instead, I am redirected to a new member page to upload images. I need access to my old account with all my images and functionalities restored. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello, My name is Richard Annette, and I've encountered an issue trying to access my account. My initial login email, [redacted], is no longer in use and has been removed by BT. This is preventing me from logging into my RatcatcherK10 account as I need to use that specific email. I updated my email to [redacted] with the user ID RatcatcherK5, but I'm receiving an error message stating there's a problem with signing in. It appears that the email address [redacted] is already linked to the RatcatcherK5 account on Flickr, which is causing the issue. I've tried following the provided links for solutions without success. Although I am able to find my Flickr pages via Google with both user IDs, I'm unable to sign in. I've attempted to obtain an Account Key, but it hasn't resolved the problem. Any assistance in resolving this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Richard

I am unable to access my Flickr account due to an email address conflict. My Yahoo! ID 4dzv4kfqxayomogzzmn74klkz6ihqdppjgaahr3f is linked to [redacted], which is already associated with my dream.crb Flickr account. To resolve this, I need to either remove the [redacted] address from my dream.crb account by signing in with my crbzz2004 Yahoo! ID or change the primary email for my Yahoo! ID. If I want to access my dream.crb account, I should sign in to Yahoo! with my crbzz2004 Yahoo! ID. I appreciate any assistance with this issue.

I am experiencing difficulty logging into my Flickr account. There seems to be a mix-up with multiple account names such as caffeinatedlittlegirl, lenore39, and possibly caffeinatedlittlegirl1. The interface is showing conflicting information, with the bottom displaying as caffeinatedlittlegirl but the top bar indicating lenore39. I should be able to access images dating back to [redacted], however, due to a login/permissions issue, I am unable to do so. This problem has arisen within the past year or two, as I used to access my pro caffeinatedlittlegirl account without any trouble. I would appreciate any assistance in resolving this login issue promptly.

After an hour, the issue resolved itself. Please disregard the previous call for help. I was crafting a Flickr My Best Photos album, and some photos disappeared, leaving empty spaces. Despite reloading the album multiple times, the same photos were still missing. However, on the album/collection page where I manage the photos for the album, they were not missing.

I am writing to request a refund to my PayPal account for a charge made on 8/26/[redacted] for a Flickr Pro subscription. I only realized the automatic payment was set up when it appeared on my bank statement. I promptly canceled the Flickr account upon noticing the charge. The account, under the username "southfloridabeachphotos," was created years ago and has been inactive for a long time. I am seeking a refund of the $49.99 fee that was charged by Fantastic Fox, Inc. on 8/26/[redacted]. I canceled the account online on 8/27/[redacted]. Please contact me via email with any updates regarding this issue. Thank you. Sincerely, Mike Craft

I have access to my Flickr account using a Yahoo email address created solely for Flickr. I believe I have the correct password. I haven't used the account in 3 years and when I tried to upgrade to a pro account, it flagged unusual activity and asked me to verify my identity by emailing two inactive accounts from 12 years ago. All updates from Flickr have come to my current email for the past 12 years, not the suggested ones. I provided security words for verification. Can you please check that my Flickr account [redacted] is linked to [redacted] and not [redacted] or [redacted]? There are albums named "Hannah" and "friends" with individuals such as Manfred, Ingrid, Roald, and Marianne. I want to access my account through normal login to recover lost photos on my Mac. My secondary email should be my husband's [redacted], not my old ones. I don't understand why the system suggests those old emails as backups. Please assist me.

I recently received a notification stating that starting in January [redacted], a subscription will be required for users with over [redacted] photos on Flickr. As I currently have more than [redacted] photos stored on Flickr, I am open to paying for additional storage. I primarily use Apple products like Photos and iCloud. My concern lies with the issue on the Flickr App specifically on the Apple TV 4th Generation. There seems to be a bug where the third photo viewed appears as a blank screen, and the problem reoccurs every few photos despite exiting and re-entering the app. Many users on the forums have reported experiencing this issue with the Apple TV 4, while the 3rd Generation is unaffected. I am wondering if this issue will be addressed by Flickr.

My account lapsed a while back, and now I'm looking to reactivate it. However, I'm facing hurdles logging in due to reported 'unusual account activity' prompting verification. The issue worsens as the email provided is one I no longer use and forgot my Yahoo password. Attempts to answer security questions have hit a snag too. I'm considering starting anew on Flickr, but accessing my previously uploaded pictures, possibly exclusive to the account, is crucial. Any guidance on resolving this would be greatly appreciated. I use the name missmelyn on Flickr.

I recently upgraded to a Pro account which was working well until I encountered an issue logging in on the browser. The support response I got from [redacted] was not helpful. Despite being a Pro user, the response time has been disappointing, with my latest email to Elizabeth still unanswered after 48 hours. In my email, I expressed my concern about my account, ShaunbondP3, being deleted without warning, which held over 10,[redacted] photos. I emphasized that I am only interested in ShaunbondP3 and not any other account. I seek an explanation for why this happened and how it can be resolved. I am eager to regain access to my account and retrieve my photos. Thank you, Shaun.

Hello, I'm Greg from Sir Speedy in Roanoke, VA. We have two Flickr accounts: one under [redacted] and another under [redacted] When I logged into [redacted], it prompted me to verify my identity using our landline, [redacted], but we didn't receive a verification call. Can you assist me in accessing this account? Please contact us at [redacted] or email us at [redacted] or [redacted] Thank you

I'm having trouble accessing my Flickr account through Yahoo. The password isn't working, and when I try to reset it, it requires a verification code sent to an email I can't access. I'm reluctant to pay for a pro account just to get the code. My Yahoo email is luvendem@yahoo, but I can't access it. Please contact me through a different email to resolve the issue with [redacted] Thank you.

I need assistance with my recent $49.95 purchase of PRO for the club [redacted] I bought it specifically for unlimited photos for this club only. However, when I upload new photos to other clubs like [redacted] or [redacted], they all appear in the community theatre gallery. These other clubs have not paid for PRO, and their photos should not be in the theatre group's gallery. How can I resolve this issue? I thought we paid for each individual club separately. Please contact me at [redacted] I previously reached out but the responses were about computer issues, which is not the problem. I need assistance from FLICKR about this matter. Thank you, Sue Perry.

Since the recent update, I have been unable to log in for nearly 4 days. Despite reaching out to online support, I have not received much help. Initially, I was able to log in once after the first response, but the issue has resurfaced. The frustrating part is being directed to use my changed ID when I have not made any changes to my login Yahoo ID ([redacted]) for Flickr. The status page claims that login issues have been resolved, but that is not my experience. It is disheartening, especially after upgrading to a PRO account, to be locked out for this long while being told the site is stable.

Hello, In [redacted] and [redacted], I had multiple Yahoo! email and Flickr accounts due to frequent changes as a teenager. Though I have deleted most of my Flickr accounts, there are two remaining that I cannot access due to forgotten email addresses. I believe these accounts are now inaccessible. I can provide the addresses where I lived when I posted on them. I reached out to Yahoo! Brazil Customer Care for help with Flickr, but they could only assist with accessing old emails, which I couldn't do without additional account details. I also tried Flickr Online Support, but haven't received a response despite providing my ID for verification. I am eager to delete these accounts as they showcase my teenage years online. I plan to create a new Flickr account reflecting my current interest in photography, having studied it in college. To do this, I need the old accounts removed. I am willing to provide any necessary information, including photos from the same time period, and can communicate via phone or Skype. Thank you! G.

I am having trouble logging into my account for the Winton Historical Society on Flickr. When I try to log in, it shows [redacted], which is not the correct account associated with Winton Historical Society. I usually use Firefox for this account, where I upload pictures of tombstones from the Winton Cemetery. However, I keep getting redirected to my other account, Taffy Girl, which I access through aol without any issues. I have been unable to access my Winton Historical Society account for a couple of weeks now, and even creating a new password for [redacted] didn't solve the problem. I need to keep these two accounts separate, so I would appreciate any help with accessing the correct account. Thank you for your assistance. Lorraine R.

Since Flickr changed their policy to allow only [redacted] photos, I made an effort to delete duplicate photos to comply. However, upon revisiting my account, I noticed that I now have over [redacted] photos, some of which were previously hidden from me. I am unable to download them or access them without upgrading to Pro or deleting all my photos. This situation is frustrating, especially since some of the photos are of sentimental value. I wish to have all my photos either emailed to me or a way to download them directly. The current option provided by Flickr to either delete the photos or join Pro does not meet my needs. I have screenshots showing my photos were under [redacted] before the policy change, proving that some were hidden.
