Although I did manage to post a couple if images early this morning I soon ran into problems again with Flickr/Yahoo constantly wanting my to verify who I am and having to retrieve codes from my email account for verification. Just tried Yahoo's online support - now they want my phone number to ring me. To be honest I've had enough of the hassle now so I may not be posting any more images on WABI for the foreseeable future!

have you tried not going through Yahoo, as someone else has taken over Flikr? Smugamug or something. Just a thought, I haven't used Flikr for a while, I'm waiting for the handover to settle down!

That's odd, Alf... but then, I don't go through Yahoo to access Flickr. Is there any way you can bypass this? I can't remember now how I set up my Flickr account, but I don't think it is linked to yahoo.

My Flickr account address is stored in my favourites and regardless what browser I use I have no problem accessing it. Even when setting up my account Yahoo didn't enter into the setup. Harold. |

I'm not having any problems myself. I have flickr booked marked on my address bar takes me to flickr log on page click that and takes me to yahoo log on that's a 2 step log on, works OK. When I sign out it takes me back to yahoo and I always click 'yes sign me out' Also I regularly clear my cookies that may help. I use the free version of ccleaner, always go to the official site for any thing you download. ccleaner is a very useful tool I've used it for years with no problems. www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/download?upgradeian |

Pleased to say I can now access my images on Flickr but my paranoia about YAHOO! increases by the day. YAHOO! apparently now own Flickr and a lot else besides but at least I now have a password that works if needed. During my online exploration of Yahoo! this morning I was startled to find a webpage which included personal information which I have no recollection of ever giving to Flickr or Yahoo! Unfortunately I didn't save the page and cannot find my way back to it. Meanwhile I will still use WABI and Flickr for the moment and see what happens.
