I tried to join Flickr this evening (UK time), using the Facebook log in option.
Apparently I had already registered with Flickr some time ago and my Facebook email address is already in their system.
Instead of simply asking me if I wanted to link the accounts (if that's even an option), or maybe a message saying you're already registered "log in here"; This is what I got:
Welcome back to Flickr!
We're sorry, but there's a problem.
Here's what going on:
Your 2da85ae80332025aa118874ed746137f Yahoo! ID uses the email address darren@myurl.com. That email address is already associated with the blah777 account on Flickr.
Here's what to do:
If you are trying to create a new Flickr account for your 2da85ae80332025aa118874ed746137f Yahoo! ID, you need to either:
Remove the darren@myurl.com email address from your blah777 Flickr account. (You'll need to sign in to Flickr with your AnotherYahooEmail Yahoo! ID to do this.) Or,
Change the primary email address for your 2da85ae80332025aa118874ed746137f Yahoo! ID. (Your 2da85ae80332025aa118874ed746137f Yahoo! preferences.)
If you are trying to access your blah777 Flickr account, please sign in to Yahoo! again with your AnotherYahooEmail Yahoo! ID.
How would I know or care that my Yahoo ID is 2da85ae80332025aa118874ed746137f?
Am I seriously expected, in todays interconnected universe, to go through all those steps?
UI/UX at its worst... This is a college study in what not to do.
I left.
