Unable to Post a Flickr Photo

We assumed that ACE was just insane in this thread because he couldn't find the link to modify his profile. Turns out it was actually a bug. Thanks CellWall and Krupo for helping us find it. The bug was such that if you have a username that is Mixed case like "Dag" and signed in all lower case like "dag" or vice-versa, then some things go breaky.


This bug also effected editing your own comments or posts. Thanks also to skforty who sent me a tutorial on uploading to Flickr which I'll put in the comments here for now, and later add to the faq

Create a http://www.videosift.com account by going to this link: http://www.videosift.com/register.php

· Go to http://www.Flickr.com and create an account, or link to your existing yahoo account.

· Once signed in to Flickr, click the "Upload Photos" button.

· Click the "Browse" button and choose the picture you would like to upload and click the "Upload" button.

· On the next page, click the "Save" button.

· Click on the photo you just uploaded.

· Once you are viewing the photo, click the "View all sizes" button above the image. Its the button with the magnifying glass.

· On the next page you will see a section that says, "Grab the photo's URL:". Copy this url to your clipboard or just leave this page open.

· Sign in to your http://www.videosift.com account.

· Go to this page, http://www.videosift.com/profile.php

· Alternatively, you can navigate to this page by following the next 2 steps.

· At the top of the page select the blue text that says, "<YourProfile'sName> Profile". In my case I see "Skforty Profile".

· On the next page at the top, click the "Modify" button. This may be hard for some to see. If you look under your profile tabs, you will see the text "Personal Information Modify". Notice the "Modify" is in blue text? Thats what you want to click.

· Once you are at the http://www.videosift.com/profile.php page, paste the url you grabbed from your photo earlier in the box that says, "Add a Flickr photo: How?".

· Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
