Technical Difficulties...
When I canceled the AT&T/Yahoo DSL at the New Haven house for the year, I didn’t realize that there would be online account repercussions that would come back to haunt me. I have been slowly moving everything over to my Gmail account for a few years now, but left out 2 very important address changes - my Amazon account and my Yahoo login. When my old email address disappeared from existence about 24 hours ago, Amazon simply required a completely new account - no options. Now I am Tabula Rasa to Amazon - no book recommendations, no account history, no wish list. The bigger problem is my Yahoo ID. I hadn’t really put it together in my head that this was attached to my Flickr account. When I went to upload new pictures yesterday I was locked out. I was sent over and over to the Yahoo login page. I have sent a request to Flickr customer support, but it is unclear how long it may take to resolve this... So it may be a while before I can show you some new pictures from our expat life... bummer. I just hope there isn’t anything else I have forgotten with that address... hhmmmm...

I have the exact same problem--and it's happened twice to me. When I was in California and had an unrelated tech problem that caused my password to get reset, I could just call customer support and they gave me a new password. But now, it has happened again and I can't get into Flickr . . . aargh!
Let me know if you're able to get this resolved.
This is all I have heard from them so far:
>Thank you for contacting Flickr >Member Support.
>I have escalated your email to a >senior representative in
>an effort to obtain the best >answer. Please allow some time
>for a follow-up reply to your >question.
>If you have any other questions, >please feel free to reply
>to this email.
I'm trying to be patient...
