Flickr and forgotten login

I joined Flickr way back in 2005 and for several years I used it intensely for my digital photos. I have 838 photos there. That's not a lot today, but please remember, the first-generation iPhone was released on June 29, 2007! Before that, you had to have a special camera to be able to take digital photos.

As my blog "Du er, hvad du tagger" shows, I was teaching Web 2.0 technologies for years and introduced hundreds of students and teachers to Blog, Flick, del.i.cious (social bookmarking and a lot of other social medias. That was a great time of great enthusiasm, that I remember with great pleasure.

Now that I'm retired, I want to use Flickr again but quelle horreur!! I can't access it because the email I used was a corporate email that has been discarded by my (now former) employer, UC Syd.  I contacted Flick and hoped they could help. I remembered Flickr as always helpful, but it has been owned by several different companies during it's lifetime. I contacted Flickr with my fingers crossed.

A few days after the usual auto-we-have-received-your-mail-response, I was contacted by Carol, who asked me for verification of my identity as the Lis Faurholt, who owns Liz@rt's Flickr photos. It's not an easy process, but Carol is extremely helpful at the same time as she is fulfilling the corporate rules on securing their customers materials. I find it hard to convince Carol, but do respect her reasons for trustworthy verification.

I'm still hoping.....
