Hey guys, I really need your help at the moment. The email address I've used to sign in to Flickr for 10 months, ieuanrichards@googlemail.com, suddenly wouldn't let me sign in, and now signs me in to a brand new account called 'Prince Erathor'. This happened after I contacted Yahoo for help. That email address was deleted the DAY after I joined Flickr, and after it was merged with Yahoo, but I've always been able to sign in with it, until now. I would REALLY appreciate it if someone tried to contact them and get them to help me. My newly-made Yahoo address is ieuan.richards@yahoo.com, and the Gmail address that's been my primary Flickr one for ages is sirieuan@gmail.com. Once again, please help me, I don't want to lose all of this now! By the way, I can still sign in on the Android phone app. ~Ieuan

Aaargh, I dunno what to do. Do I make a new account and add, like, the 500 people I follow to a photo, or do I just try and work on my phone? Do I wait and see what happens (nothing, at the moment)? If I do make a new account, what should I call it? I'm in panic....

Maybe you could try working it out on the phone. Tagging 500 people to photo seems quite a lot of work. And maybe many wouldn't see it. I think that if the phone stuff doesn't work, you should wait, as Brickninja said he's going to contact Flickr. I think at least one of these will work.

Once again, please help me, I don't want to lose all of this now! By the way, I can still sign in on the Android phone app. ~Ieuan I think this might be happening because Flickr is getting rid of Gmail and Facebook logins. If you can log in to your account over mobile, I think you can transfer the account e-mail from your Gmail to Yahoo. I got an e-mail in my Gmail inbox from Flickr telling me how to switch to a Yahoo login. If you check your inbox, you Should be able to find it, and it might help you. What I had to do is log in to Flickr with my Gmail, then it gave my steps (on Flickr) to make a Yahoo to replace the Gmail. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, that email account has been deleted, but has been fine for 10 months. It was synced with Yahoo, too. Wait, did you mean my Flickr account?

I was talking about logging in to your Flickr account to change the email. If you log into your Flickr account via your mobile device, there should be a way in the settings to transfer the account to a different Yahoo account. If you go to (on Flickr) Settings> Edit your Yahoo! Preferences> Choose how Yahoo Contacts You> Add Another Email, then you could change your email to your new Yahoo email, and that might let you contact Flickr for help.
I'm not sure if this will work, but I hope this might help you, Ieuan!

Basically, I'm always logged in on the phone app, so as long as I don't sign out there I'm OK. Unfortunately, your idea doesn't work on the app, Jackson. Does anyone know of a good way Flickr can be contacted?

That was the first place I went to for help. They then began sending emails to my old address, but then I got them to send them to my new one, but none have come through! After I sent these messages, the account changed to 'Prince Erathor', which I have just deleted.

I've made up my mind - I'll make a new account, and tag all my friends/fellow castle builders to a picture, uploaded to my old account from my phone. I know I can still use my phone app, but it's rather limiting and hard to use. Making a new account isn't a big deal, really, as I can just link back to my old account so people can still see everything I've uploaded.

Just wait a little longer with the Flickr team

Don't worry, they won't be lost, they'll just be on an account I can't access. See?
