The freaking problem with that is that I couldn't retrieve in time my lost password to my old yahoo account I used for flickr.

Don't care that much about the yahoo account but I don't know what'll happen to my flickr pics and contact I use once in a year. And yes, I still use it.

The daisy-chaining of email addresses that may or may not be active anymore (some due to ISP going out of business) and stupid security questions that I can't remember (who was my freaking favourite author in 2002 ?!) turned this into a real clusterfuck.



As far as I know logging into Flicker will keep your account activated.


Problem is: I can't login into Flickr because I don't have the credentials to the yahoo account that I need to sign in to Flickr.
