Can anyone tell me how to get into my Flickr account? I want to upload some more pictures - I can see the existing ones but when I try to sign in to add some more I keep getting a load of stuff about a yahoo ID which I'm sure I haven't got, then it suggests going in via my gmail account which I've tried but it tells me that ID doesn't exist or something and thinks I'm trying to set up a new account. If I put my flickr name in it tells me it's already taken - well of course it has - by me!!!

I'm sure I didn't have this problem about yahoo etc before, though it was a while ago that I used it.

I really can't work out how to get in to it. Can someone please advise me? Tearing my hair out with this.

Thank you

Try the Flickr Help Forum -perhaps a search for "Yahoo Logon Login" or variations?

I had this problem and resigned myself to the fact that I'd messed up the sign up process so much that I had lost that account. Then I realised I had signed up (years ago) with a different username than the one I was trying to log in with.

I suggest double checking all your log in details, worth maybe digging out the welcome email from flickr from your email inbox and cross checking the details.

Yahoo certainly doesn't make it easy to retrieve your details again! Good luck.

What browsers do you use? I had this problem but then remembered that I'd used firefox to log in. This meant that I could see a list of usernames and passwords. I'm not sure if other browsers have this facility. I remember checking old e-mails for the details as well. Think I then had to set up a yahoo id and link it to flickr. Once you get the password and username for flickr it's easier to follow the "help". Good luck!
