Flickrhoo!

I’ve been meaning to say this for a while. Are there any Flickr users out there who are a bit pissed off that now, when you click to sign in, you have to go to a Yahoo sign-in page, where you have to find the link to the old Flickr sign-in form?

Also, when you want to comment on a photo and sign in to do so, the link used to take you back to the photo you wanted to comment on after logging in. Now, due to this Yahoo! sign-in interstitial, the link back to the photo I wanted to comment on is lost. Very annoying. I paid for this service.

I’ve always been very happy with Flickr, as it gets the pictures I take ‘out there’ as opposed to in the various self-hosted galleries I have set up over the years. They get seen more.

I’d love to know what’s going on inside Yahoo! since the big reshuffle announcements. I also wonder what’s going to happen to Flickr. Have I missed something?

  • Yep, the sign in thing annoys me too. But they aren’t the only ones….

    Dear LazyWeb….please deliver me a *true* single sign on service – it either that or I’ll go mad trying to remember the gazillions of IDs / passwords I’m failing to keep a track of.

  • My wife and I share a flickr pro account. Yahoo tricked her with that new login screen into merging our flickr/yahoo accounts! Grr. What is so horrible about allowing users to choose to use an email address as a login instead of a gazillion IDs, oops, did someone just say that?
