Why am I still having trouble connecting flickr to my 360 page?

I go to 360, click on "share photos" and am presented with a screen that asks for my name in flickr. I put that in, and it says it does not find me. But when I take a clean slate (my Yahoo home page) and go to flickr by way of my favorites listing, the name is the one I put into that request for name mentioned above. I don't know how to do an RSS, or I'd do it that way.

Why am I still having trouble connecting flickr to my 360 page?
Flickr does not work... plain and simple.. it has never worked right.and it probably will never work right in the future.. it took my photos and ran away with them.. that was a year ago.. and I have not found them yet!





But if you want to use the rss feed for your albums..





this is what you have to look for on the page of your album in the Flickr program.


It most likely will be found on the edges of the page.. at the bottom or the top at any place they can stick it.





You look for the letters XML or RSS feeds..


they are usually orange in color or a very bright red..


click the letters you find..





it will open up the feed to the site on another popup ... if on this page you see where it wants you to subscribe to the RSS or XML feed... click yes..





if it is not there.. look at the address on your browser ... does it have the ending that says.. rss/html... or xml/rss feed in the url there?





then copy it and go to our MY Page and in your profile you have a place you can put your home page url in it and save it to the profile..





or you can just put it on your feeds section.. but that doesn't always work.. but the homepage thing does.. it will not post a feed on your updates everyday. .. but it will take you straight into your albums.. on Flickr.. which does not work..





I use google's picasa web albums.. they are simple, they work every time.. and you get a great free photo editor to boot that cost around 100 dollars a couple years ago!


and a gmail address in the bargain.. without haveing to be invited..


go to google home page.. click on more.. and then even more.. look at the list of downloads that are free from google and will be there.. download it and get started with no nagging photo web albums.. that do not make you want to do something evil to people.. when it is not their fault.. it is a really weak web site.. Flickr.. is putting too much into the video side of the thing.. trying to be like UTube and have live video from cellphones steaming in.. of kids at the mall trying on clothes ..





silly really.. hope I helped .. good day to you ma'am
Reply:Flickr has been working for me, now that dee has explained the problem with sign in names (see http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;... ).





"it says it does not find me"





Are you sure that you can log into http://flickr.com with that username? If you can't, then that's why you're having problems. Contact Flickr via their form on http://www.flickr.com/help/contact/ . The question is whether you can actually LOG IN to Flickr, not whether you can get to the Flickr page. You need to be able to access the Flickr account that contains your pictures. It asks for your FLICKR ID , not your "name/nickname" that's used in Flickr. There may be no difference actually, but you should definitely go to your Flickr account and make sure that you are using the correct ID (not nickname). Once you've logged in, you can check your account settings by clicking "My Account" under the "You" menu at the top.





When you click on "Share Photos" in 360, in the Flickr section there is a little link called "Change User." It's imperative that you check that link and make sure that the correct FLICKR ID is used there.





Also, your Flickr ID must be different than your Yahoo ID, or your photostream will not work. So, make sure that you check out the FIRST link that I listed above. You can make adjustments to your Flickr ID if necessary (I had to create a new Yahoo account just for Flickr and link my old Flickr account to that new ID, THEN make adjustments in Yahoo 360s photos module).





Once you think you have your Flickr ID totally correct in 360, save the settings, then you will likely need to wait at least 3 days for that Photostream to appear on your 360. RSS will not help if you're having problems accessing the correct Flickr account.
Reply:What I finally did was do a photo stream from my 360 to my flickr. You might also try going to the flickr and see if there is some way to send it to your 360.





Oh, and type this question in the search field and see what other answers are there. I think there are a lot.





It takes several days for any changes on my flickr to show up on my 360.
